See title, support for pcf fonts would be very nice, expecially since many terminal like applications make use of them and because it doesn't seem to be possible to draw bitmap fonts using freetype-go.

I've looked around and this seems to be the only pcf library for go: https://github.com/nareix/pcf

The only way something like this will happen is if someone else does it.

Understandable :). For now I got plan9 fonts (which are not scaleable like ttf) working using https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/image/font/plan9font
