Recreation 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.
This recreation uses the special TTF+SVG format, which currently has limited support. As the font relies on antialiasing, I did not create a separate monochromatic version of the font.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
This is a cloneRecreation of the "futuristic" pixel font from Dinamic Software's "After the War" (1989) on the ZX Spectrum.
This font is used in the second part of the game. This recreation corrects the awkwardly inconsistent line height between the alphanumeric characters and the punctuation characters. Note that the Amstrad CPC version uses a different, much blockier font for this part of the game.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

This is a clone of Saint Dragon (Small)Recreation of the small pixel font from NMK/Jaleco's "Saint Dragon" (1989).
Note that the original colour version of this font uses some antialiasing, particularly in punctuation characters like the "&". This recreation is non-antialiased reinterpretation of those characters.

There was no glyphs latin on Patrick H. Lauke Redux's font so go check it out: https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/1644314/akumajo-densetsu-nes
I used to clone them, so I can help Patrick Lauke to complete this font with letters on it.

The font includes an almost complete set of hiragana and katakana characters. In the tile set, the dakuten and handakuten are separate tiles, positioned in a line above their respective character. In this recreation, characters that use them are pre-combined into a single glyph.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Horror Soft/Adventure Soft's "Personal Nightmare" (1989) on the Amiga.
Oddly, for their Atari and MS-DOS release, they opted for a much simpler/cleaner font, so this quirky version is exclusive to the Amiga.
Only the characters used in the game have been included.

This is a clone of Hyper Dyne: Side Arms (PC Engine)Recreation of the pixel font from Sega's "Hokuto no Ken - Shin Seikimatsu Kyūseishu Densetsu" (aka "Hokuto No Ken II", 1989) on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis.
The game was released in the west as "Last Battle: Legend of the Final Hero", but without the original "Fist of the North Star" license, and with many gameplay aspects (most notably, character names and the level of gore) changed.
Note that this version only includes the punctuation marks used in the original Japanese game. For the western release, a different set was used.
The font includes an almost complete set of hiragana and katakana characters. Some of the core katakana characters were missing, so I added them from similar more complete fonts. In the tile set, the dakuten and handakuten are separate tiles, positioned next to their respective character. In this recreation, characters that use them are pre-combined into a single glyph.
With the exception of the handful of extra katakana glyphs, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the primary pixel font from Vic Tokai's "Clash at Demonhead" (aka "Dengeki Big Bang!", 1989) on the NES.

Recreation of the large pixel font from Taito's "Darius" (1987), also reused in "Darius II" (1989).

Recreation of the hiragana and katakana pixel fonts from Konami's "Akumajō Densetsu" (aka "Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse", 1987) on the Nintendo Famicom.
This font is only used on the title screen, intro story crawl, and dialog boxes - otherwise, the game uses a standard "Nintedoid" type font like https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/676742/nintendoid_1. In contrast, the western release uses a single stylised font throughout - see https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/682911/castlevania_3_1.
In the game's tileset, the dakuten and handakuten are separate tiles, positioned in the line above the character they relate to. In this recreation, these characters are pre-combined into a single glyph.
The game also uses a handful of actual kanji characters - however, due to their limited number and usefulness, these have not been added in this recreation.
