Q] Why don't you provide with 13 pts size Bleriot radar fonts?

FAQ
Since there is only few pixels for design high quality bitmap fonts, all sizes can not be used to design fonts without introducing artefacts. For exemple, it is quiet impossible to produce a "regular" bitmap font of 13 pts size and which is different from the 12 pts and 14 pts bitmaps. The answer is the same than for the previous question: Because a 12 pts size bitmap fonts use a small array of pixels, it is not possible to design high quality variations of such small bimap fonts.
