Description:
recreation of the font used in nintendo's classic super mario brothers 2 (super mario USA). all alphanumeric characters are straight from the game (with the exception of "Q", which i tried to keep in a matching style), while all other characters are generic versions i included to make the font a bit more useful. UPDATE: fixed the "q" to match the one found in the game ROM.

As an aside, there actually is a "Q" bitmap buried in the ROM. Here's what it looks like:

@codeman38 oh wow. gotta say, i actually prefer my version. what a conundrum: go for accuracy (though from what i can see no text actually uses the Q in game) or for my own aesthetic sensibility?

@redux - Why not do both? Put the official "Q" in one position (either "Q" or "q"); then put your version of the "Q" in the other position, and denote it in the font's description.
