Recreation 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 large pixel font Zippo Games/Rare/Acclaim's "Wizards & Warriors III: Kuros: Visions of Power" (1992).
Note that the "&" character is wider than 8px - in the game, it uses 4 separate 8×8 tiles. In this recreation, the character width is nonetheless set to 8px, with the ampersand overlapping the following letter (usually, a space character) by one pixel.

Recreation of the small pixel font from Quintet/Enix's "Soul Blazer" (1992) on the SNES.
This small variant is only used on the title screen, the in-game stats, display, and in a few dialogues (specifically, when talking to the trees in GreenWood).
Note that the game only includes lowercase versions of accented characters (for the French and German translations), which are doubled-up and used instead of uppercase characters.
This recreation uses the special TTF+SVG format, which currently has limited support. For a monochrome version, see this recreation.
A few of the accented characters lacked a shadow in the game's tile set (presumably because they weren't actually used). In this recreation, I added in the shadow, based on similar characters that did.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
This is a clone of Soul Blazer (Small)Recreation of the 6px pixel font used in Nintendo's "Super Mario Kart" (1992) on the SNES. In the game, the font has a 2px spacing to account for the outline. In this recreation, I opted to just go for a 1px spacing - if you do use it outlined, make sure to add the extra pixel for authenticity.
Update Sept. 2019: added ":" and "," and fixed incorrect "Q", "V", "(" and ")"
Recreation of one of the pixel fonts from Video System's "Aero Fighters" (aka "Sonic Wings", 1992). This font is used for the pilot names and post-level taunts. Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the small pixel font from the japanese release of Climax Entertainment/Sonic! Software Planning's "Shining Force" (1992) on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis.

This font includes a full set of hiragana and katakana characters. 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.

This is a clone of Shining Force (Small)Recreation of the main pixel font from Jaleco's "Rival Turf!" (aka "Rushing Beat", 1992) on the SNES.
This font is used for the main menu, intro/outro cinematics, and end credits.
The font includes an almost complete set of hiragana and katakana characters. A few of the katakana characters were missing in the game's tile set, so I've attempted to include custom characters in a similar style. 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.
With the exception of the few additional katakana glyphs, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
