A well-known font from Duke Nukem 3D which is used in screens, menus, and placeable ingame sprites. This font came in two versions: "big" and "small". Both versions only have uppercase, so I put the small variant on the lowercase.
Since the original was a bitmap font which used multiple colors, I stuck to drawing the outlines. This lets you color them in how you like.
The small variant has its own symbols and numerals as well; most are already in this font, replacing the empty spaces left by the big variant. (Neither one has a complete symbol set, so I merged the best ones together.)
Original size: 10.5pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)
The font used in Super Mario 64 when speaking to people or reading signs. These characters are mostly derived from the game and used to recreate the font. Glyphs such as the asterisk and curly bracket are made with modified or existing characters used in-game (star instead of asterisk, curly bracket made from parenthesis, etc.)

Font based on the Super Mario World logo text and other old mario content (such as Super Mario Adventures, Mario Tennis for the virtual boy, and Super Mario Compact Disco). This font is very wacky which resembles the old Mario era before the gamecube.
This is a clone of Typeface Mario World Pixel OutlineI 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)
a complete recreation of the original Amiga 500/1000/2000 Workbench 1.3 version of the default Topaz 8 font, with the addition of a handful of custom characters. this font is presented in the corrected, double-height ratio of 16 pixels, as it would have appeared on screen.
updated (07.12.2020) to correct the "T".
Recreation of the pixel font from Sega's "Streets of Rage" (aka "Bare Knuckle", 1991) on the Sega Mega Drive. Only the characters used in the game have been included.
Minor update 2 Dec 2018: referring back to the actual tile set in the game's ROM, added the "?" and apostrophe, and corrected ":" and ";"
This is a replica font that was originally used as the level cards and credits for "Sonic 3D Blast" for the SEGA Genesis and SEGA Saturn. Original text design courtesy of SEGA. Sonic Team, and Traveller's Tales.
Recreation of the pixel font used in Capcom's "Hyper Street Fighter 2 - The Anniversary Edition" (2004) - though it actually made its first appearance in "Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers" (1993). Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included (but, for once, the set is almost complete in this game).

[2022.08.31] Added more commonly used Greek characters.
[2022.05.17] Added Cyrllic character set.
[2022.05.16] Added More Latin and Greek character sets.

The main font for enemy dialogue used in Undertale and Deltarune, created by Toby Fox.
The font looks similar to "DotumChe" at 10pt. The only difference is the character spacing. "DotumChe" has a spacing of two pixels, while there is only one pixel spacing in-game.
