[Clone of Futuristic Terminal Display by Goatmeal.] I really like the original font, but I thought about changing it a bit to fit my taste and to add some new glyphs into it. I slightly changed the shape of some letters, digits and symbols by adding that extra little segment at line ends (such as in "S", "6" and "?"), removed the "weird" dot from the "O", changed "1", "2" and "@", added a lot of other typographic and other symbols (for example "#", "~", "§" and superscript 1/2/3) and some accented letters. The font is now capable of displaying english, hungarian, german and probably a couple other languages with extended latin alphabets, and is now fully usable in MS Office's "show whitespace" mode (has both the "pilcrow" and the "not" sign). Also includes soft hyphen and non-breaking space!

@Rev_Yeti - You've made some smart changes. I'll probably alter my O and @ based on yours, and I see where I can change the %. Thanks! :^)

Thanks. On a second look, I realized why did you put a dot in "O"... Pretty hard to distinguish it from "D" at lower sizes... But I still don't like that dot anyway, reminds me of oldschool DOS text mode.

Anyway, I finished modding your font now, changed a glyph shape I didn't noticed before, and added a buttload more symbols and signs. Not that anybody would use the "§" paragraph symbol with this font, or any of those quotation marks you left blank, but it was rather a challenge to figure out something for them. (The euro and cent symbols are a bit tricky.)

I noticed that you only made superscript 2, leaving out 1 and 3, I added them too. Although 3 is a bit meh...

Also I added some accented glyphs to the font, thus making it international.
Now it supports languages beside english:
hungarian (áéíóöőúüű),
german (äöüß),
and english with selected french loanwords (café, coup d'état, naïvety etc.),
and perhaps a couple of other languages... Although the accent system is just a quick hack to fit my hungarian, so it's not really "segmented-looking" (yet)...

@Rev_Yeti - You are correct; I forgotten why I had that • in the O. I'll probably change it back on my version.

Regardless, you have a terrific expanded set going here. I am honored you chose to mod my font! :^)

Because it's good-looking and easily moddable with copy-and-paste. And because many times I have felt the frustration of realizing a cool font I found didn't supported hungarian, so I had to ditch it. Probably I will expand the accent system in a systematic manner sometime.

I'm pretty proud of the german "ß". By the way your new "%" is really the only way around, I thought about the same. :) (And as a side note, your normal and inverted exclamation marks are different in shape, they should be the same shape rotated.)

Sorry for any bad english. (:

@Rev_Yeti - You're right about the ! and ¡. Looks like I have more work to do. :^)
