   Does anyone know a good program for making infographics?
   
   LibreOffice Draw: good except for the fact that it doesn't allow me to use bitmap fonts (this image is 26 KB).
   
   Gimp: can access bitmap fonts but completely messes them up.
   
   Solutions to fix either of these programs would be welcome too.

     @RedpillBot Inkscape? Krita?
     I have no idea if either of them are suitable, but they are my goto for image stuff.

     @RedpillBot where's the "graphics" part?

     @Zerglingman Good ideas
     
     krita doesn't work. Apparently this is the reason:
     >I found a conversation on the Krita forum specific to bitmap fonts. I'm afraid it's not good news. One of the devs wrote this:
     
     >"What font type is this font? Krita doesn’t list fonts itself, we use Qt’s fontdatabase for that, but that doesn’t handle certain types of fonts like old-fashioned bitmap fonts."

     I'll try inkscape soon

     @Zerglingman yeah, inkscape also didn't have bitmap fonts
