I want to use the Terminal font that I've been using for a few headers I made in Paint.

Terminal font example

I know that Java doesn't support bitmap fonts. I'm trying to find a way to get a TrueType version of the above font and I'm getting absolutely nowhere.

The last resort would be to create the rest of my interface titles in Paint, but that's kinda a last resort. I'm not even sure if this is the best StackOverflow question, but I'm open to any solutions, programming-related or otherwise.

    If you're going to do an invisible downvote, at least explain why please. I'd rather not make mistakes in future, and stuff like this doesn't help me learn. – Gorbles Jun 17 '15 at 13:32
  • *"I'm trying to find a way to get a TrueType version of the above font and I'm getting absolutely nowhere."* So you're question is where to get that font? And you don't know if requestion off-site resources is on-topic here? Well, let's check: [Help page](http://stackoverflow.com/help/on-topic): *"Questions about general computing hardware and software are off-topic for Stack Overflow unless they directly involve tools used primarily for programming. "* ... apparently not. – Tom Jun 17 '15 at 13:48

    As I said, I'm open to programming answers, ways to generate something that approximates it (and even that is hard to search for). Please don't be condescending - if you have time to look up the Help Page for me, you probably have time to actually help me instead. – Gorbles Jun 17 '15 at 13:51

Windows includes Terminal.fon, a bitmap file that has the appearance you want. You can use the technique HERE to convert the FON file to TTF.

  • Looks like a bit of a nightmare, but better than anything else I've seen. Appreciated! Will mark as answer if nothing better comes along today. – Gorbles Jun 17 '15 at 13:53
  • Yeah, it just depends on how bad you want it. Glad I could help. – Lance Jun 17 '15 at 13:59

    You might also want to take a look at this free version of Terminus.ttf which might be close enough for you. http://files.ax86.net/terminus-ttf/ – Lance Jun 17 '15 at 14:02

Courier is a true type font. Looks like a typewriter font.
