Based on typeface used in Intellivision games by Mattel Electronics, and the True Type Font "Intellect", v1.0 (C)1999 by Jaysun of "The Intellivision G-Spot". 2020 update consulted several GROM font data images from various AtariAge forum postings. 2023 update corrected the Apostrophe spacing, plus non-standard Left & Right Single Quotes.

Great job & thanks for the good memories!
Still blocky after all these years: an update for the Intellivision Font. After consulting images of the GROM font data:
1. Downsized to a true pixel font (2× size/4 bricks to 1× size/1 brick)
2. Corrected and adjusted spacing, especially for glyphs wider than 6 pixels and special kerning (! and #)
3. Corrected the following glyphs:
• p
• q
• ' (apostrophe)
• ~
• left and right double quotes
(non-standard for Intellivision, but using quotation marks in FS)
• left and right single quotes
(non-standard for Intellivision, using apostrophe in FS)
4. Remove the following non-standard glyphs
(orginally from the TTF font "Intellect"):
• left and right double quotes
• left and right single quotes
• left and right parentheses
• *
• ^
• _ (underscore)
5. Added the following glyphs:
• up arrow
• left arrow
Corrected the Apostophe spacing (plus non-standard Left & Right Single Quotes), based on further GROM review.
