 and I'm too lazy to reexport the font)

changelog: 09-16-2018 initial version

history: Sometime ago, I found my ancient bitfield-based font editor and because I wanted a pixel-perfect small font for UI so I made my own. When I realized that it's possible to fake pixel-perfect fonts using ttf and proper scaling, I decided to give it a try. After many sighs, not being able to find any working converter, I wrote a simple script and exported the outlines (using a very dumb RLE-based "tracing" algorithm) as svg files and imported them using a python script to FontForge (awesome tool). Several tweaking attempts later I was finally able to make it render correctly in ImGui so here it is. Have fun.
