Monaco 9
-
A remake of the 9-point version of Apple's bitmap font Monaco, found on old Macs. The vector version of Monaco is only available as a pre-installed font on Apple computers; the file still has bitmap versions embedded for sizes 9, 10, 12, and 14.
This font currently contains the full OpenType Com and Windows Glyph List 4 character set (including optional characters; excluding private use duplicates). Some characters in that set didn't exist in the original font, so I drew them myself while trying to stay consistent with the original design. In addition, some small inconsistencies have been corrected (for example, making ' and " the same height). If it gets 1,000 downloads, I’ll add MES-2 and Symbol font characters.
For 12-point Monaco (not by me), see https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/2054252/monacottf

the apostrophe ['] looks off... it's 1 ⬛ higher than the douple apostrophe ["]
@digitalio Just checked the original font and the apostrophe is indeed 1px higher there. But now that you point it out it's really bugging me, so I fixed it even though it technically makes the font less accurate.
@Techstar01 - I run into that problem every once in a while, expecially with Japanese game fonts. For sake of completeness, you could add the original 1-pixel higher apostrophe (') in an unused section, like the More Latin section.
@Goatmeal good idea. old apostrophe is mapped to U+02c8 (modifier letter vertical line)
could you add the lozenge
*can you
@digitalio-2 Good catch, I had it but it was at the wrong codepoint. Fixed now
can i expand this font?

Now add WGL-4.
WHERE TTHE HELL DID THIS THING GET 500 DOWNLOADS??!!?
@Techstar01 Now add Windows Glyph List 4 characters.
Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic are done. Cyrillic actually had bitmaps for most of the characters, but there were some inconsistencies, so I deferred to the original Latin characters when they came up. Greek only had outlines for the capitals and nothing for the lowercase, so those I largely had to make educated guesses as to what the design would have been. Only blocks left now are box drawing and geometric shapes.
