There are far too many 3x3 pixel fonts that aren't actually true 3x3, or are not readable at 1px per block. So here is a proper 3x3 pixel font created for the Merveilles Portable MMO made by ika.

I can't wait to try this out. The game is a lot of fun, and typing in the font is going to be great.

Looks good, but your 'b' and 'g' are the same.

Thanks for the heads up! It has been fixed.

• Errors : U V ; s =/= S ; z =/= Z ; 2 === z ; 1 === I ; 6 === B.
• No minuscules (quite disappointing for me after reading your bold description : I must say that you attempt is not a 3x3 font either, since it's not even ASCII, a minimum complete that is…) Of course I see it was already difficult for you, since you resorted to lowercase letters in capital A, B, N and U.
• 98 - 24 duplicates = 74, and there are even more doubles to clean out. Please update your tiny marvel. (Since it's getting interesting with hard-working designers.)

You are correct, dpla.
It was originally made to match the specifications used in Merveilles, which had no lowercase at all and had designs I didn't necessarily agree with for a couple of letters. I believe I will work on updating it now.

Very kind of you.

Is “Merveilles” an old name on FS ? I could not get a hand on it (see the list below).

As a new FS member, I've just finished to collect and comment 30 relevant micro fonts on FS (that's all we can get here). Here's the list just for you (alphabeticallly by designer) :

• 2x3 fonts (1) :

• 6x7 fonts (1) :

The purpose is to evaluate my own 3x3 micro font (full ASCII + a bit more) compared to the 'market' (and all the alleged 'world record' micro font designers on the web)… but I think I'll release it under the same free licence as FS sooner or later, since it does not add a lot to the community (beyond the fact that it's many discontinued years of knowledge and work in it that nobody would care about). In the meantime, sorry if I rated / 'bookmarked' noone here ; besides I cannot 'supervise' 30 pages (so I may reply, or not - don't take any offense)…
Well, I'll leave for today… CYA.

It appears as if I got the record here. :)

[BTW. sorry for the very long post ; Hangedmandesign was the first to comment me back, so I used this page as a milestone in my quest… {Wait a minute ! I can see another pixelated dragon in the distance !-))}]

And btw, Mikroskop is now 2x2 not 2x3.
