If you grew up playing The Oregon Trail on the Apple II, you'll know this font. Now you, too, can create fake screenshots claiming you've died of dysentery!

I was dreading recreating this and am so glad I found that someone did it first. You did a great job and saved me a lot of time!

Glad I could help! :)

This was recreated pixel by pixel from a disk image which I hacked to display the entire ASCII character set, so it's about as accurate as one can get.

Nice one. Brings back some glorious memories on trail.

Hi, I was excited to find this but none of these 3 font formats will install on Mac. I get:

No Installable Fonts Selected
here-lies-mecc.otf.otf contains no fonts which can be installed on macOS. Check your selection and try again.

I found that the files download improperly, named as .otf.otf, etc. That extension needs to be changed to .zip and then they will unpack properly.

Thanks!
