    There are two kinds of bitmap fonts. The first one is true bitmap fonts, some of them even use ancient formats for such. The second one are “bitmap style” fonts, made in TTF, with pixels already being baked in. It does have some advantage in the accessibility department, since you can just swap it out with any other fonts, otherwise it’s often a nightmare to match the pixel size, many just go close enough then call it quits.
