Octfont provides a bold and compact font (i.e., compressed spacing font or compressed font) for terminal windows. Octfont includes three unicode fonts for X11 systems: oct, oct16, and oct24. They feature narrow vertical spacing and bold lettering. The narrow spacing allows more lines on the screen. While this is contrary to aesthetic principles of font design, it is convenient for editing and coding. The bold lettering permits ease in viewing. The fonts are unicode fonts with more than 5000 characters. The oct and oct16 fonts are the same font with different alias names. The oct24 font is larger. The oct16 font is even large enough to be easilyread on a 4K 3840x2160 display. The fonts include character representations for the octal control characters (hence the name, octfont) rather than translating control characters to the null string like most fonts.
