Description

Bedstead is a family of outline fonts based on the characters produced by the Mullard SAA5050 series of Teletext Character Generators, as used to render the MODE 7 display on the BBC Microcomputer and other systems.

The generator turns the original 5x9 pixel cells into smooth outlines, reproducing the diagonal-smoothing behaviour of the SAA5050 hardware. The family provides six width variants (from ultra condensed to extended), each in regular and bold weights, and covers Latin, Cyrillic and Hebrew glyphs plus the teletext mosaic graphics characters.

In the other systems

The newest version among them is 3.261, as upstream numbers it.
