Recreation of the pixel font from Ubisoft's "Hurlements" (1988) on the Amstrad CPC.
Note that this font is incomplete, missing all numbers except "2". It also doesn't include any accented characters, with the exception of German diaeresis/Umlaut characters.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font used in the Capcom classic "Ghosts 'n Goblins" (1985). The slightly odd vertical spacing of some of the punctuation marks has been retained as it appears in the game. Note the special characters mapped to their respective unicode points: !! "double exclamation mark" (U+203C), ?! "question exclamation mark" (U+2048) and "heavy black heart" (U+2764).
Recreation of the font used in the arcade version of Konami's "cute 'em up" "TwinBee" (1985), expanded to include some more special characters. In the game, on-screen text uses both an outline color and a separate fill. To achieve the same look, you can combine TwinBee Outline with TwinBee Solid.
Recreation of the pixel font from Horror Soft/Adventure Soft's "Elvira: Mistress of the Dark" (1990). This font was also used in "Elvira II: The Jaws of Cerberus" (1991) and "Waxworks" (1992).
Slightly expanded to complete the set of accented characters, beyond the ones used in the French and German versions of the game. Apart from this, only the characters used in the game have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Compile/Irem's "The Guardian Legend" (aka "Guardic Gaiden", 1988) on the Nintendo Famicom / NES. It combines the characters from the North American/European release and the original Japanese one.
This font includes a full set of hiragana and katakana characters. In the game's tileset, the dakuten and handakuten are separate tiles, positioned in the line above the character they relate to. In this recreation, these characters are pre-combined into a single glyph.
Similarly, in the password entry screen the game includes various characters with an umlaut/diaeresis, which are rendered as a separate tile in the preceding line. In this recreation, these have also been pre-combined. The game itself also uses some non-standard combinations (such as a "k" with an umlaut) - these have not been included, as they don't map to any standard unicode character. Lastly, to avoid confusion, the numeral "0" in the password entry screen uses a slash. This has been mapped to the "Latin Capital Letter O with Stroke" character (U+00D8).
Beyond this, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the small pixel font found in the BIOS for IGS' "PolyGame Master 2 (PGM2)" (2007 - 2011) arcade system board - used for boot warnings and settings screens.
Only the characters present in the BIOS have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from the arcade version of Data East's "Midnight Resistance" (1989).
This recreation uses the special OpenType SVG (TTF+SVG) format, which currently has limited support.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the large pixel font from Konami's "Castlevania: Dracula X" (aka "Castlevania: Vampire's Kiss", "Akumajō Dracula XX", 1995) on the SNES.
This recreation uses the special TTF+SVG format, which currently has limited support. For a monochrome version, see this recreation.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
This is a clone of Castlevania: Dracula X (SNES)Recreation of one of the pixel fonts from Johnson Voorsanger Productions/Sega's "ToeJam & Earl" (1991) on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis.
In the game, this font is dynamically switched with another variant, creating an animated text effect.
This recreation uses the special TTF+SVG format, which currently has limited support. For a monochrome version, see this recreation.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
This is a clone of ToeJam & Earl (Variant 2) (Mono)Recreation of the small pixel font from Quintet/Enix's "Soul Blazer" (1992) on the SNES.
This small variant is only used on the title screen, the in-game stats, display, and in a few dialogues (specifically, when talking to the trees in GreenWood).
Note that the game only includes lowercase versions of accented characters (for the French and German translations), which are doubled-up and used instead of uppercase characters.
This recreation uses the special TTF+SVG format, which currently has limited support. For a monochrome version, see this recreation.
A few of the accented characters lacked a shadow in the game's tile set (presumably because they weren't actually used). In this recreation, I added in the shadow, based on similar characters that did.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
This is a clone of Soul Blazer (Small)Recreation of the main pixel font from Banpresto's "Ultra Toukon Densetsu" (1993).
The parentheses have been slightly tweaked to make them more usable. Otherwise, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the small proportional pixel font from Square/Nintendo's "Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars" (1996) on the SNES.
This is used in the inventory menu for item descriptions.
Note that the font includes explicitly transparent "holes" for the grey-ish background of the inventory screen to show through. In the game, these holes are still counted as part of the characters for the outline - the dark blue outline goes around these transparent areas.
This recreation uses the special TTF+SVG format, which currently has limited support. For a monochrome version, see this recreation.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
This is a clone of Super Mario RPG (Small)Incomplete pixel font set, based on the shop sequence of the Bitmap Brothers' Amiga shooter "Xenon 2: Megablast" (1989). Designed to be used aliased at a size of 5px (or multiples thereof). Originally posted at http://www.splintered.co.uk/experiments/61/
Recreation of the colour pixel font from The Bitmap Brother's "Gods" (1991) on the Amiga and Atari ST.
This recreation uses the special TTF+SVG format, which currently has limited support. For a monochrome version, see this recreation.
Only the characters used in the game have been included.
This is a clone of Gods (Amiga)Recreation of the pixel font from Namco's "Splatterhouse 3" (1993) on the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis.
The font uses an unusual spacing, where the uppercase characters, the numbers, the ampersand, and the question mark have a width of two tiles / 16px, and the lowercase characters and remaining punctuation marks have a width of one tile / 8px.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the large pixel font from Capcom's "Final Fight" (1989).
This font is used in the intro cinematic. In the original, the double quotes are awkwardly split over two tiles. This recreation combines them into a single character. The recreation also corrects the missing antialiasing in the "3". However, it retains the original minus/dash (as seen in the character bio sheets), which is far too high.
This recreation uses the special TTF+SVG format, which currently has limited support. As the font relies on antialiasing, I did not create a separate monochromatic version of the font.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
This is a clone
