To ensure a halved-square font, any accented glyphs from Mandrill (my monospaced, lanky, much-of-unicode font) that went above a capital A's peak were cut, but many lower-case accented glyphs stayed in. Since this is meant for a text-heavy game genre where legibility at small size is important, all of Latin Extended Additional was cut -- it was just too hard to read at small sizes, and I doubt it would be very useful in a roguelike or similar text-based game that needs halved-square glyphs. This looks pretty good with anti-aliasing, but the preview may be funny because it uses the old 2x2 filter. It's called Zodiac Narrow because of the 6x12 pixels, 12 signs of the Zodiac, more Narrow than Zodiac Square.With%206x12%20pixels%20at%20size%206%2F8%20font%2C%20this%20variant%20of%20Zodiac%20Square%20will%20fit%20two%20characters%20in%20one%2012x12%20square.%20%20To%20ensure%20a%20halved-square%20font%2C%20any%20accented%20glyphs%20from%20Mandrill%20%28my%20monospaced%2C%20lanky%2C%20much-of-unicode%20font%29%20that%20went%20above%20a%20capital%20A%27s%20peak%20were%20cut%2C%20but%20many%20lower-case%20accented%20glyphs%20stayed%20in.%20%20Since%20this%20is%20meant%20for%20a%20text-heavy%20game%20genre%20where%20legibility%20at%20small%20size%20is%20important%2C%20all%20of%20Latin%20Extended%20Additional%20was%20cut%20--%20it%20was%20just%20too%20hard%20to%20read%20at%20small%20sizes%2C%20and%20I%20doubt%20it%20would%20be%20very%20useful%20in%20a%20roguelike%20or%20similar%20text-based%20game%20that%20needs%20halved-square%20glyphs.%20%20This%20looks%20pretty%20good%20with%20anti-aliasing%2C%20but%20the%20preview%20may%20be%20funny%20because%20it%20uses%20the%20old%202x2%20filter.%20%20It%27s%20called%20Zodiac%20Narrow%20because%20of%20the%206x12%20pixels%2C%2012%20signs%20of%20the%20Zodiac%2C%20more%20Narrow%20than%20Zodiac%20Square.

It is 12 blocks tall; all letters are at most 8 above the baseline and at most 3 below, but the Unicode box drawing characters are one block taller. Since all the ascenders got a little lower, I'm calling this one Low Rider. The fact that the width of every glyph is half of its height could be handy for grid displays in certain text-based applications. Text-mode programs can also take advantage of the box drawing characters. This font uses the FontStruct 2x2 filter method with plenty of composite and stacked bricks, which lets the curves look good at large sizes while remaining sharp on the screen at normal sizes.This%20clone%20of%20Monkey%20%28my%20monospace%20lanky%20font%29%20still%20has%20one%20width%20%286%20blocks%29%2C%20but%20isn%27t%20so%20lanky.%20It%20is%2012%20blocks%20tall%3B%20all%20letters%20are%20at%20most%208%20above%20the%20baseline%20and%20at%20most%203%20below%2C%20but%20the%20Unicode%20box%20drawing%20characters%20are%20one%20block%20taller.%20%20Since%20all%20the%20ascenders%20got%20a%20little%20lower%2C%20I%27m%20calling%20this%20one%20Low%20Rider.%20%20The%20fact%20that%20the%20width%20of%20every%20glyph%20is%20half%20of%20its%20height%20could%20be%20handy%20for%20grid%20displays%20in%20certain%20text-based%20applications.%20%20Text-mode%20programs%20can%20also%20take%20advantage%20of%20the%20box%20drawing%20characters.%20%20This%20font%20uses%20the%20FontStruct%202x2%20filter%20method%20with%20plenty%20of%20composite%20and%20stacked%20bricks%2C%20which%20lets%20the%20curves%20look%20good%20at%20large%20sizes%20while%20remaining%20sharp%20on%20the%20screen%20at%20normal%20sizes.
