How do I use an X11 bitmap font?

#1

I have started using the Tamsyn font in my terminal and I’d like to use it in ST as well. But I can’t seem to be able to set it in the preferences.

I tried with the font name tamsyn and with the X11 string -misc-tamsyn-medium-r-normal--15-*-*-*-*-*-*-* but nothing works.

Nevermind, I solved it by converting the font to TTF with this script.

I spoke too soon. That script puts the wrong character width in the TTF and that causes spaces, tabs, and intentation guides not to line up.

Is there a proper way to use a bitmap font (X11 font .pcf file) in ST?
