This is a font that is cloned from the text that appears in old-school video games made by software companies including, but not limited to, Atari, Namco, Nintendo, Taito, Konami, Sega and Hudsonsoft. It authentically adheres to 8x8 grid-like limitations while at the same time being legible, easily understandable, functional and practical. This font version sacrifices most accented letters in favour of a number of ligatures and digraphs so that two characters can occupy the strict space of one letter to allow for more letters to occupy a line (namely thinner letters like I, F, L and T). Use of US-International keyboard configurations helps in the use of these ligatures (I hope where they are mapped is acceptable).
I have chosen letter-forms that are different from many of the letters that are characteristic of the classic typeface--A and V are most obvious--to give it my own spin. I did include the traditional A and V if you still want them, as well as alternates for 0 and 8. The lower-case letters are my own creation.
Insight and ideas for improvement are greatly appreciated.This is a clone

My new experiment in making a pixel font using a larger grid of blocks (13x11 px).
I was aiming at a look that matches the retro feel of pixel fonts used in console games.
It's still in development, so expect to see some minor changes, as well as the addition of new glyphs. I'm also still trying to come up with better versions of the punctuation glyphs. Minuscule lowercase letters are also planned.
NOTES:
For use at sizes which are multiples of 12px (12, 24, 48 and so on). For Flash usage, use multiples of 4. Derivative fonts are allowed, just respect the license.
CHANGELOG:
*26 May 2010 - changed the long W letter to an inverted M letter for consistency of font length and width.
*14 August 2010 - added even more Basic Latin glyphs (only the lower case letters are still missing there), changed some symbols a bit, also added some More Latin typography, as well as partial Basic Cyrillic support. :)
P.S. I might add more glyphs to this font in the future. Comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated! :)

The Alegro7 Pro font is derived from my typeset deviation at deviantART.com : http://sahwar.deviantart.com/art/Alegro-Alpha-font-88671469 . My next release(after I finish this one) will be yet another pixel/bitmap font/typeset, so expect to see improvements in the following weeks.
