The dialogue and information text used in Final Fantasy VII, with support for Central and Eastern European languages as well as Greek and Cyrillic scripts.
UPDATE 7/1/2016: More Latin accents added. Greek Extended will be completed by the end of the month.
From the Final Fantasy Advance and DS games. Specifically the final version, from FFIV DS. I tried to make it compatible with all languages that use Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek scripts. Plus Japanese Hiragana and Katakana.
If you see problems, let me know.
CHANGES FROM IN-GAME ORIGINAL:
•Added additional letters and diacritics.
•Changed the circumflexed letters to use actual circumflexs instead of inverted breves, so I could add breved letters.
•Used half-pixels to center diacritics over letters.
•Made some diacriticized letters more consistent.
A faithful, authentic, all-caps, nostalgic 8-bit font based on 1st-party Nintendo Entertainment System games, such as Duck Hunt, Tetris, Dr. Mario, Clu Clu Land, Pinball, Gyromite, Baseball, Urban Champion, and of course, as the name says in the font, Super Mario Bros.!
Featuring a grand total of 1085 glyphs! If we do glyph number translation, 1085 translates to October 1985, back when the Nintendo Entertainment System first launched in North America!

~ Altima - created by Caveras after the original main text font used in Final Fantasy Tactics for the Sony PlayStation. ~
Altima is not the first recreation of the original PSone Final Fantasy Tactics font on the web, but certainly the most accurate and comprehensive you'll find. The font is based on the complete set of the game's international bitmap glyphs and thus also features the Japanese hiragana and katakana alphabets as well as countless additional stuff like a cyrillic base character set, special characters, zodiac signs, and whatnot.
The base font size and recommended setting for Altima is 16pt and multiples of that. Use metric kerning and no additional smoothing effects for the ultimate FFT experience.

Final Fantasy Tactics on the PlayStation was developed by Square and published by Square & Sony in 1997.
ChronoType is not the first recreation of the original Chrono Trigger font on the web, but certainly the most accurate and comprehensive you'll find.
The font is based on the complete set of the game's official and fan-translated characters and thus also features the Japanese hiragana and katakana alphabets as well as Cyrillic and Greek letters, countless additional stuff like special characters, unique glyphs, and whatnot.
The base font size and recommended setting for ChronoType is 16pt and multiples of that. Use metric kerning and no additional smoothing effects for the ultimate Chrono Trigger experience.
Chrono Trigger on the SNES was developed and published by Square in 1995.
~ ChronoType - created by Caveras after the original main text font used in Chrono Trigger for the SNES. ~
This is a faithful recreation of the original font used in the SNES RPGs developed by Quintet. There is already a popular font based on the game called Lunchtime Doubly So, but that one has none of the special characters used in the European localizations of the game, and also none of the original Japanese characters.
This trademark Quintet font appears in all their SNES RPGs (namely Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, and Terranigma), but with many little differences depending on the game at hand. Gaiatype is a recreation of the Terranigma typeface variant, to be exact, with its own spacing and character set.
Featuring all the European diacritic and extra glyphs as well as a complete set of all the hiragana and katakana characters from the original version of the game, called Tenchi Souzou in Japan, this marks my most extensive font to date with over 760 glyphs in total.
The base font size and recommended setting for Gaiatype is 16pt and multiples of that. Use metric kerning and no additional smoothing effects for the ultimate Terranigma experience.
Terranigma on the SNES, known as Tenchi Souzou in Japan, was developed by Quintet and released by Enix in 1995.
~ Gaiatype - created by Caveras after the original font used in Terranigma for the Super Nintendo. ~
I used Tile Molester (I didn't name it that way!) and extracted the Earthbound and Mother 2 font (English ROM and Japanese ROM) that was used in the game's menu and tried to combine and insert them here myself. (I used the Earthbound's Latin instead of Mother 2's bolder one, because most recognize it that way)
I've added a few hundred more glyphs to it, hoping this may come in handy for some fans out there. ^^ I'll add more languages (maybe use all the glyphs available) if you request it, otherwise, I'll only leave it at 878 glyphs. ;D
This font includes:
- Basic Latin
- More Latin
- Extended Latin A
- Extended Latin B
- Katakana
- Hiragana
- Greek and Coptic
To reference the game a little more... Katakana Middle Dot, More Latin's Middle Dot, and More Latin's Bullet are actually the middle dots that you see in the Japanese and English character naming screen, respectively. ^^
I don't have status conditions and the battle font in here, because it's pretty much its own font and I honestly can't find it in the game's file for some reason... (no clue what settings to use see those)
Having grown quite font of recreating video game pixel fonts, I did yet another one: the font used in the SNES classic Super Punch-Out!!
Quarlow is my most extensive font to date, featuring over 850 glyphs based on the characters appearing in the game. It comes with a whole hiragana & katakana set as well as a cyrillic base character set, countless added characters and all of the more common special characters, diacritic characters, etc.
The base font size and recommended setting for Quarlow is 16pt and multiples of that. Use metric kerning and no additional smoothing effects for the ultimate punch-out experience.
Super Punch-Out!! on the SNES was developed and released by Nintendo in 1994. I picked the name of the font (Quarlow) after one of the many quirky opponents you face in the game.
~ Quarlow - created by Caveras after the original font used in Super Punch-Out!! for the Super Nintendo. ~
There are various pixel fonts for the main text from the Ace Attorney games out there (like "PW Extended", "Ace Attorney", or "pwfont"), but none of them is a truly coherent or complete recreation of all the actual letters used in the original NDS games. Igiari is there to change that! This font includes over 800 characters and features a vast array of letters with diacritics as well as a near-complete set of all original Japanese hiragana and katakana characters from the Ace Attorney series.
The font is a 1:1 rebuild based on the games and appears exactly as in-game with correct spacing. I also added the game-related Borginian font symbols as well as countless of the more common characters and some gylphs that don't show up in the games.
Please note that the European games (with German and French translations) use a slightly thinner variant of this font. I may work on a European set later, but for now, this is the most comprehensive set of Ace Attorney letters you will find on the net.
Due to the inclusion of the larger Japanese characters, the base font size and recommended setting for Igiari is 16pt and multiples of that. Use metric kerning and no additional smoothing effects for the ultimate Ace Attorney pixel experience.
The Ace Attorney games for Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS were developed and released by Capcom from 2001 onward. I picked the name of the font (Igiari) after the Japanese variant of the games' trademark "Objection!" expression. The reason I rebuilt this font is that I needed the original appearance in an indie game project of my own.
~ Igiari - created by Caveras after the original font used in the Ace Attorney games for the Nintendo DS. ~
Ashlander Pixel is a pixelated version of "Goudy Medieval". Born out of a deep love for Bethesdas "The Elder Scrolls"-series and typography this font not only supports the latin, greek and cyrillic alphabet, but also contains a variety of special symbols related to The Elder Scrolls.
I suggest using the ttf-format for now as the spacing in the otf-format is for some reason totally off. I optimized this font using InDesign, therefore the kerning in some other programs might not work as intended.
I am happy to hear feedback on this font and any issues you might encounter.
May the Nine be with you.
There are several recreations of the original PSone Final Fantasy VII font around, but none of them are either as accurate or comprehensive as this version, which also features the Japanese hiragana and katakana alphabets as well as menu numbers, special characters, and whatnot.
The base font size and recommended setting for Reactor7 is 16pt and multiples of that. Use metric kerning and no additional smoothing effects for the ultimate Final Fantasy VII experience.
Final Fantasy VII on the PlayStation was developed and released by Squaresoft in 1997.

This beautiful font is a recreation of an original font appearing in the SNES strategy game Romance of The Three Kingdoms IV: Wall of Fire, released as Sangokushi IV in Japan. It's my second Koei font recreation after Ishmeria (from the game Gemfire) and I think it's a very pretty and stylish font.
The character set of Sangoku4 includes a vast array of additional diacritic variants, number variations, bonus characters, unique glyphs, and also full sets of the Japanese hiragana and katakana alphabets from the original Japanese version of the game.
I recommend to use this one with font sizes that are multiple of 16pt and avoid any font smoothing or anti aliasing methods.

This is a cloneThis is far from the first recreation of the original Nintendo DS system font, but it certainly is one of the most comprehensive variants, including about 800 characters.
NDS12 features a vast array of diacritics, common foreign characters, full Japanese hiragana and katakana character sets, buttons, arrows, unique glyphs, and many, many more.
The font is a 1:1 rebuild based on various games, expanded with many characters that couldn't be found in any game.
The base font size and recommended setting for NDS12 is 10pt and multiples of that. Use metric kerning and no additional smoothing effects for the ultimate handheld pixel experience.

These elegant letters appear as the original main font used in the little-known tactical SNES RPG Gemfire, or Super Royal Blood in Japan.
Ishmeria is a faithful and exact recreation of said in-game font, expanded with hundreds of diacritic variants, number variations, additional bonus characters and various dingbat symbols. And that's not everything: all Japanese hiragana and katakana characters from the original version are also included, making this one of my most extensive recreations to date.
The base font size and recommended setting for Ishmeria is 16pt and multiples of that. Use metric kerning and no additional smoothing effects for an authentic pixel performance.
Gemfire on the SNES, known as Super Royal Blood in Japan, was developed and published by Koei in 1992.

The internet has quite some Mega Man fonts to offer, but there is simply no faithful recreation with extended character sets, Japanese glyphs, and all the other stuff you might want to type down in true Mega Man style.
So I decided to recreate the latest variant of the original game font myself. The result: "MMRock9" (which can be pronounced as "Rock you" in Japanese), a true-to-original, carefully researched recreation of the pixel font used in Mega Man 9 and 10.
This font features (likely) all that you could ask for - original monospace character margins, letter variants with diacritics, some game-specific bonus glyphs like Start/Select buttons and the Mega Man 3 background logo, and last but not least a full Japanese character set with all hiragana and katakana glyphs appearing in the Japanese version. Also included: Lots and lots of added glyphs as well as some minor character variations appearing in earlier Mega Man games.
The base font size and recommended setting for MMRock9 is 8pt and multiples of that. Use metric kerning and no additional smoothing effects for a thoroughly wily font experience!
The Mega Man series was primarily developed by Capcom and released on various systems between 1987 and 2012.

Crang is a proportional sans-serif pixel font recreation based on the original main display font appearing in the video game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, developed by Tribute Games and released on various platforms by Dotemu in 2022.
The character set of this font was greatly expanded with countless additional special characters, diacritic variants, in-game icons, numbers, buttons, and lots of unique glyphs, each one of them designed to match the spirit and style of the original font design.
The base font size and recommended setting for Crang is 25pt and multiples of that. Use metric kerning and no additional smoothing effects for the ultimate pixel experience.

The Professor Layton font, but with an excess of added symbols and diacriticals. I hunted down font maps because I don’t have actual font maps just so I could make this. Please, go crazy.

FOR KANJI CHARACTERS: I recommend using the Zpix font and slightly raising the baseline on the Kanji characters. With a bit of adjustment you can get whatever you’re looking for in Japanese.

The spacing between lines seems a bit awkward in some cases, so you might want to adjust that, too, with this font.
This is a clone of Prof. LaytonThis stylish pixel font is a combined recreation of the original font appearing in the SNES brawler Kouryuu no Mimi and the font used for the inofficial English fan translation. Both fonts are very different in style, shape and measurements, but I mixed them together as there are no overlaps on any glyphs.
The character set of Kouryuu includes a vast array of additional diacritic variants (which do not appear in-game), number variations, bonus characters, unique glyphs, and also full sets of the Japanese hiragana and katakana alphabets and other Asian glyphs from the original Japanese version of the game. Every character that doesn't pop up in the game has been designed to match the look and feel of the base characters.
I recommend to use this one with font sizes that are multiple of 11pt and avoid any font smoothing or anti aliasing methods.

The character set of this font was notably expanded with many additional special characters, diacritic variants, unique glyphs, and the like, each one of them designed to match the spirit and style of the original font design. Also included is the full original set of Japanese characters.
