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 a fancy-looking unused pixel font found in Capcom's "Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara" (1996).

Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Sega's "Columns" (1990) on the Sega Mega Drive.
Compared to the arcade, the console version does not rely on antialiasing. This recreation includes the alternative "T" and "I", mapped to the lowercase characters.

This is a clone of GunlockRecreation of the pixel font from Tatsumi's "Big Fight: Big Trouble in the Atlantic Ocean" (1992).
The tile set contains a full set of hiragana and katakana, but as the game does not use them (with the exception of the CJK quotation marks U+300C and U+300D, which are used - confusingly - to quote english dialogue in the end cinematic), these have not been added here.
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 SunA Electronics' "Super Ranger" (1988) (a dreadful "Rolling Thunder" rip-off).

Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Only |J|Q|Z| are done from scratch, but most letters still needed some interpretation in order to choose what to keep as a detail and what to discard as just an artefact.
As per the samples available, it's just uppercase (plus the lonely lowercase |c|).
It is possible that the original wasn't a pixel font after all, or that the pixels weren't square, and probably it had a higher resolution than 13×13.
