noto-sans-mono-bitmap
growingv0.3.2
Provides pre-rasterized characters from the "Noto Sans Mono" font in different sizes and font weights for multiple unicode ranges. This crate is `no_std` and needs no allocations or floating point operations. Useful in kernels and bootloaders when only "soft-float" is available. Strictly speaking, this crate is more than a basic bitmap font, because it encodes each pixel as a byte and not as a bit, which results in a much nicer result on the screen.
