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 stencil font from Seibu Kaihatsu's "Raiden Figthers Jet" (1998), used in the intro cinematic, the briefing/battle result data screen and in-game notifications (e.g. "Quick shot!"). This font was also used in "Raiden Fighters 2: Operation Hell Dive" (1997), but only for the in-game notifications.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the main pixel font from Capcom's "Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara" (1996).
While the letters and numbers are the same as "Knights of the Round" (1991) (with the exception of the oddly modified "g", "j" and "y"), this game changes most of the punctuation/special characters, and adds a large number of extended/accented latin characters (though there is also a variant set, which isn't as complete and looks rather awful).
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
This is a clone of Knights of the RoundRecreation of the pixel font used in Cave's "Ketsui: Kizuna Jigoku Tachi" (2003). This is, for the most part, a stencil version of the font used originally in "DoDonPachi Dai-Ou-Jou" (2002), which is also present in this game but used only occasionally (for instance, on the start screen). Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
This is a clone of DoDonPachi Dai-Ou-JouRecreation of the pixel font used in early UPL games: the alphanumeric characters were first introduced in "Nova 2001" (1983) and the punctuation/special characters were added starting with "Ninja Kid" (1984). It at first appears like a copy of Namco's "Xevious" (1982), but has enough variation to be considered a stand-alone font in its own right. The font was further used - with some minor change to the punctuation - in "Raiders5" (1985) and "Ninja Kid II" (1987).
Strictly 8x16/8x8 monospaced arcade-style font inspired by Old Church Slavonic manuscripts and Cyrillic vyaz majuscules. Designed for all-lowercase body text with occasional all-caps headers, as in historical manuscripts- but works well with mixed caps.
500+ glyphs, including extensive support for accented Latin letters, world currency symbols, and custom Roman numerals, along with assorted dingbats and multiocular O scribal glyphs used in Old Church Slavonic in text referencing eyes.
Support for majuscule punctuation, more non-Latin scripts, and more extended Latin & dingbats possibly upcoming.
If you know any of the non-Latin scripts included, please let me know of any gaps/accuracy or legibility issues!

Recreation (and slight reinterpretation) of the pixel font used for the highscore screen in Psikyo's "Sengoku Blade: Sengoku Ace Episode II" (aka "Tengai", 1996).
The antialiasing of the original font has been removed, and some of the spacing for the punctuation characters has been tweaked. Note the "white smiling face" (U+263A) symbol.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
This is a recreation of a raster font from a real Pac-Man machine with modified symbols. Currently, it has American and some European characters. This is good enough for a retro feel, useful for gaming and might be used for personal or commercial purposes. Translated to an LED display font!
This is a clone of Namco Arcade RasterCompanion font for TwinBee Outline, based on 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 Solid with TwinBee Outline.
This is a clone of TwinBee OutlineRecreation of the small pixel font from Video System's "Aero Fighters" (aka "Sonic Wings", 1992). This font is used for in the arcade machine's boot/option screen. Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the large pixel font from Atari's "Super Bug" (1977) and "Fire Truck" (aka "Smokey Joe", 1978).
In the games, the font is incomplete. Both lack a "Q", "V" and "W", which I made from scratch for this recreation, trying to approximate the overall style/feel. The "J" is present in "Super Bug", but not "Fire Truck". Conversely, the "K" is present in "Fire Truck" only.
With the exception of the added letters, only the characters present in the games' tilesets have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Capcom's "1942" (1984). Note that in game there are two number variants used - a regular one with a right-hand shadow, and a bold one; this recreation uses the latter. Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
