I am specifically looking for "Bitmap" fonts, so I selected "Themes" and "Pixel/Bitmap". The first strange detail was that there is just one size for the fonts because bitmap fonts are defined in a grid of pixels that have horizontal and vertical sizes. I downloaded a couple fonts as test and discovered that one font file have .ttf extension (True Type Font) and the other one .otf extension (Open Type Font). This confused me a lot, because .ttf and .otf are *precisely* the opposite thing of "pixel/bitmap" fonts! Bitmap fonts in Windows have .fon or .fnt extensions...

Then, I open the "Help on the Bitmap fonts use" and read that "For the fonts with .fon extension...". So there are *real* Windows bitmaps fonts here! However, it is totally impractical to download a font just to check the type: all the fonts I tried so far are .ttf or .otf font files!

Is there a way so I can know the extension of the font file before downloaded? Is there a way to list just the "real" Bitmap (not .ttf nor .otf) fonts? TIA

PS - Yes, I know that .ttf font files can be converted into .fnt ones...

There are no more new .fon files at dafont since years, but here is the list of the existing ones here:
