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).

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.

This is a clone of RezonRecreation 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.
