Recreation of the italic pixel font from Capcom's "Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara" (1996). This font is very sparingly used in the game - apparently, just for the character names, SP/HP counters, and (partially at least) the inventory ring interface.
This font includes a near complete set of hiragana and katakana characters, as well as a wide range of special characters (such as a full set of zodiac symbols).
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Data East's bizarre "Trio the Punch - Never Forget Me..." (1990). Includes an almost complete set of hiragana and katakana. Only the character present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font found in the PC Engine / TurboGrafx-16 BIOS with a Super CD-ROM². It appears to be unused, but includes an almost complete set of katakana and hiragana characters. Only the characters found in the BIOS/ROM have been included.
Recreation of the primary pixel font from Konami's "Akumajō Special: Boku Dracula-kun" (1990) on the Nintendo Famicom. It includes an almost complete set of hiragana and katakana characters.
Note that in the game, the dakuten and handakuten are rendered as a character on the preceding line, while this recreation includes characters with these diacritics in the correct position in the correct character codepoints themselves - for this reason, the characters themselves are taller than 8 pixels.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
11/16/2018 - Coming soon, KANJI!
Lost in Japan is a font with that curious type of feel. The name makes sense when I spell it out below.
LOST - Very confusing, yet cool.
IN - Really?
JAPAN - Cointains all Hiragana/Katakana characters.
I used Tile Molester (I didn't name it that way!) and extracted the Earthbound and Mother 2 font (English ROM and Japanese ROM) that was used in the game's menu and tried to combine and insert them here myself. (I used the Earthbound's Latin instead of Mother 2's bolder one, because most recognize it that way)
I've added a few hundred more glyphs to it, hoping this may come in handy for some fans out there. ^^ I'll add more languages (maybe use all the glyphs available) if you request it, otherwise, I'll only leave it at 878 glyphs. ;D
This font includes:
- Basic Latin
- More Latin
- Extended Latin A
- Extended Latin B
- Katakana
- Hiragana
- Greek and Coptic
To reference the game a little more... Katakana Middle Dot, More Latin's Middle Dot, and More Latin's Bullet are actually the middle dots that you see in the Japanese and English character naming screen, respectively. ^^
I don't have status conditions and the battle font in here, because it's pretty much its own font and I honestly can't find it in the game's file for some reason... (no clue what settings to use see those)
The 5x5 pixel font used for the Virtual Gremlin, an old emulator/game I wrote. The standard font for ingame text.
This font was also designed to work well with IRC clients and ASCII games (see sample).
Breaking the 5x5 grid was unfortunate but necessary in order to make legible characters in non-Latin languages.
Recreation of the pixel font from Jaleco's "Legend of Makai" (aka "Makai Densetsu", 1988).
This recreation includes a practically complete set of hiragana and katakana. In the original, the dakuten and handakuten are separate characters on a separate line of text - in this recreation, they have been included in their respective characters, which results in the overall line height being 11 pixels rather than 8 pixels.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Data East's "Heavy Smash" (1993). This font contains an almost complete set of hiragana and katakana characters. Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Nintendo's "Golgo 13: Top Secret Episode" (1988) on the NES, including a smattering of katakana and hiragana characters. Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
palph is a hard-to-read font. It supports katakana and hiragana.
Lower case is the mirror character.
