I didn't just create my own font, I created a font editor too because nothing else was just right (context: MSDOS 5/VGA era). For clarity, I was not that employee :)

Up until quite recently I used to render a fixed-width TrueType to bitmaps so I could fix some rendering and typographical foibles, in order to use it with rxvt.

I too may have a rabbit-holing problem.
