FYI, I just checked in some bitmap fonts provided by Fossil (David
Rosales said they could be licensed under Apache 2.0, currently-
embedded metadata notwithstanding). They're in the apollolib assets
directory:
https://github.com/cicada-dev/cicada/tree/master/apollolib/assets/fonts
The recently-added "Next Buses" sample app demonstrates one way to use
them (in this case, I just created a symlink to the apollolib fonts
directory):
https://github.com/cicada-dev/cicada/tree/master/samples/nextbuses
FWIW, they do look a lot nicer than crudely rendering the default
Droid fonts into monochrome, though I do wish there was an something
in between the bold/lowercase 11px font and the tiny all-caps 7px
font, as I've found the default Android font at 10-12 points to be
pretty good (if messy).
