I've worked on multiple bitmap fonts, and would like to open source them in some way of form.

Just remember when choosing a license - are you okay with Amazon taking it and using it in their latest billion dollar show on prime video without giving you any credit or money? If so, full on open source away. Otherwise there are licenses you can grant that will allow others to use it for free, but not large corporations. Shop around the licenses
