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 OpenType Com character set. 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 500 downloads, I’ll add WGL characters.

the apostrophe ['] looks off... it's 1 ⬛ higher than the douple apostrophe ["]

Comment by digitalio 24th september 2023

@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)
