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 pixel font from Sega's "Phantasy Star" (1987) for the Sega Master System.
This font includes an almost full set of katakana characters. In the tile set, 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.
Similarly, in-game the single and double quotes are positioned on the preceding line (and the single quote reuses the same glyph as the comma), but have been vertically spaced accordingly in this recreation.
This font also includes a handful of thin/small latin characters - these are used in the stats/fight screens for "HP", "MP", "LV", "EP", and for "AW" in the japanese version's intro story screens. These have been mapped to the lowercase, and the remaining lowercase characters have been left blank.
Lastly, the original tile set also includes six kanji characters. These have not been added to this recreation. Apart from that, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Namco's "Pistol Daimyo no Bōken" (1990).
This font includes a full set of hiragana and katakana characters. In the tile set, the dakuten and handakuten are separate tiles, positioned after the character they relate to. In this recreation, these characters are pre-combined into a single glyph.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

I took a look at the very first font I published and looking back at it now, I couldn't help but think I could have done better and gone much further with it. Having learned a few things along the way when I was working on the light version of Pixelbabania, I decided to invest some time into working on a much improved version of Pixelbabania VI, while once again following a self-imposed limitation. This time, I decided to go with 6x9 (with some exceptions) to allow a bit more wriggle room and to make characters with accents much nicer, and even decided to change up some of the characters to improve their look. Not only this, I decided I'd try and see if it was possible to add more characters from other sets and thus far, it had gone quite nicely.
After so much time on and off, now I share with you the fruits of my labor and love.
Note: I have done what I could to get N'ko and to a lesser extent Adlam to play nice; unfortunately I could not get the tone marks to actually just go above or below the characters properly, therefore they will take residence right next to the character, taking up another space. Apologies for any inconvenience caused to those who type in those languages.
04/12/23 : Fixed up a few more glyphs in Box Drawing to make them look and work proper with the others.
Some time after I decided to unleash Pixelbabania VI Deluxe onto the world, I deemed it appropriate to also create a light version to go alongside it. Had a good bit of fun making sure things looked right with this font, which also explains why I decided to fix its sister font while I was at it.
Here it is, at last. And just in time for the start of a new season, wherever in the world you all are.

Recreation of the pixel font from the japanese version of Activision's "Predator" (1987) on the NES.
This font includes a full set of hiragana and katakana characters. In the tile set, 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.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
This is a clone of Predator NESRecreation of the pixel font from Sega's "QuackShot Starring Donald Duck" (1991) on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis.
This font includes a full set of hiragana and katakana characters. In the tile set, 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.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
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.
