LCD Dot Matrix HD44780U

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

This font is based on the HD44780U Character LCD-display, and it's a clone of the 5x8 LCD HD44780U A02 font, wich again is a clone of my LCD Dot Matrix font.
I've added some more characters to the font, some cloned from the Lucid font, while others where taken from the datasheet for the Hitachi HD44780U (LCD-II).
I've made a new font wich contains many symbols to be used together with this font. It'll be released later.
The font contains some alternative glyphs for the "A", "S", "3", "4", "5", "7" and "9" characters in the Devanagari character space.
The upper- and lowercase letters "Ø", and "ø", has been cloned from the Lucid font. (The original "Ø", and "ø" could be found in the Devanagari character space).

Tiny3

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

This is my smallest font ever, 3x3 pixels. Not all glyphs are legible, but most are... Some glyphs are more legible than others.
Also see my slightly bigger font, Tin4 which is a 4x3 font.
This font is somewhat similar to the PhoneStruct font by meek, some glyphs are the same while others are different. My version has more glyphs...
This font is also somewhat similar to the Femto 3x3 by Frodo7, a font I found after publishing this font. I guess there isn't that many possibilities when only having a 3 by 3 area to fonstruct on. The A. D. E. F. H, I, K, O, P, R, S, T, U, V, X, Z, 0 glyphs seems to be the same.
This is probably the smallest pixel font that's possible to make (w/o the use of half pixels or smaller pixels), while still being somewhat legible.

Tiny4

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

My try on a 4x3 font. Some glyphs isn't that legible.

antique

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

Based on the DOS font antique
Not that many characters at the moment, but I'll add more later.
The original DOS .fnt file could be found here:
antique.fnt

scrawl

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

.:scrawl:. This font is based on the DOS font scrawl.
The original DOS .fnt file could be found here:
scrawl-1.fnt.

kopimi

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

This font is inspired by the K of the kopimi logo.
Guess I'll rename the font later...

gåte tribute

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

This font is tribute to the Norwegian band Gåte [WP], and inspired by the logo of the band.
This is my first non-pixel font. :-)
I'm not that happy with the "v" glyph (maybe I'll make the "v" look more like the "u". I've made an alternative "u" and "v" in the more latin place, but I guess that "u" breaks with the overall style).
I'm also not happy with the "z", "/", "%" and "\" glyphs, so I'm open to ideas, if anyone has any comments. (The rounded ends on the "/", "%" and "\" glyphs is not the best (zoom in to see it)).
Any better ideas on the name? One alternative is "riddle me this" ("Gåte" is norwegian for "riddle").
Any ideas for the "æ" and the "ø" glyphs?
I've made an alternative glyph for the number 6 (on the À glyph).
The height on the "e", "f", "s", and "x" glyphs should've been the same as the "a" glyph.

LCD Dot Matrix HD44780U symbols

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

This is to be used together with my LCD Dot Matrix HD44780U font.

Rock your data

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

The font used in the logo of the band Datarock. Based on the following characters used on the (old) Datarock homepage: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, W, Y. I later found out that the original font is called FFF Intelligent (using WhatTheFont). So I'll update this font to look more like that font.

NineteenFourtyTwo

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

This font is based on the TwentyFourNinetyOne [2491] font, by Steve Mehallo.
(The font listed on typekit.com).
The difference between this and the original version is that this is a pixel font, with no diagonal lines, like the slash (/) and backslash (\) of the original font, and also the Ø and ø characters.
My version has some half pixels, but it would be a true pixel font at a double size.

The plus-minus sign (±) and the division sign (÷) now actually looks like those signs.
The inverted question mark (¿) was mirrored in the original font, and I've corrected it in my font.
The sharp S (ß) now looks more like a ß and not just simply two S-es.
The characters with grave accent (`), acute accent (´), and tilde (~) has been redesigned.

(Btw, I'm not satisfied with my redesigned Ø and ø :P. I might change those later).

kryptonite

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

This font is based on the Kryptic LP font, by LetterPerfect, and contains some more characters than the original do.
Also, this version is a pixelfont, meaning that all pixels are the same size. The space character is empty, but a period sign/dot could be used to get the same effect as the original font has (but this pixel is bigger than Kryptic's space).
Also the square brackets has been used as alternatives to the period and comma char, with the characters being at the bottom instead of in the middle.
Also, the Euro and Yen symbols only got one dash.

Star Guard 5 by 4

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

This font is a tribute to the Star Guard flash game, and it's based on the font seen in the game. This font only contains uppercase letters, some of the lowercase letters has been used for some alternative number design, as used in the game when you collect points.

Se7en of Nine

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

This font is based on the Mini7 font created by Joe Gillespie, and contains some more characters than the original font does, but it also misses some characters that the original font has, because these characters isn't available in FontStruct yet (AFAIK). I have also made an alternative Q with a descender, like the one in the Silkscreen/Slikscreen font, you will find this as the lowercase Q, while the uppercase Q is the same as in Mini7 with no descenders.

Blocky Pixel

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

This font is based on the title font used in the "Chien" CSS Zen Garden design by Alex Miller, available at: http://www.csszengarden.com/?cssfile=/164/164.css&page=6 I have added some other characters, that is: J, K, X, Z, ., ! and _. I'm not satisfied with how the "Z" turned out, so maybe I'll change that later.

Gasoline

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

This is a free opensource version of the freeware Gas font from: http://www.1001fonts.com/font_details.html?font_id=605 I have added some more characterglyphs like the nordic ÆØÅÖÄ, and also the Euro symbol. The Copyright and Registered trademark symbols has also been redone, making them one dot thicker, because the original font had dots in the middle that weren't online with the other dots. That is the dots in the middle was off by an half dot. (Wich would be impossible to "draw" with an LED-board).

Slikscreen

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

This font is based on the Silkscreen font created by Jason Kottke, and contains some more characters than the original Silkscreen does. It contains the nordic characters ÆØÅÖÄ, and most other characters with diaresises, acutes, and graves, but only one letter with a circumflex because of character size problems (the character would be too high with a circumflex on top).
As with Silkscreen, this font should be used with a font size of 8pt. multiples (8pt., 16pt., 24pt., etc) with anti-aliasing turned off.

Another version of the Silkscreen font is the Silkscreen Alt, which has some small changes to some of the characters, but doesn't contain any more charaters than the original Silkscreen.

LCD Dot Matrix

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

This is the Dot Matrix LCD Font used on the Ricoh Aficio AP3800C, Aficio AP3200 and AP306D printers, among others. The uppercase letters is the same as those used in the HD44780 Character LCD-screen wich is a de facto industry standard LCD.
I have also added some letters myself, and some extra symbols used on these printers.
It doesn't contain the copyright, registered trademark or trademark symbols.
This font looks somewhat like the Lucid font, but the lowercase letters are different:

LCD Dot Matrix Condensed

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

This is a condensed version of the Dot Matrix LCD Font used on the Ricoh Aficio AP3800C, Aficio AP3200 and AP306D printers, among others.
I have also added some letters myself, and some extra symbols used on these printers.
It doesn't contain the copyright, registered trademark or trademark symbols.
Since this is a condensed font, not all characters are the same width.
This font looks somewhat like the Lucid font, but the lowercase letters are different:
