Recreation of the pixel font from Sega's "Hopper Robo" (1983).

The font does include a second set of numerals that match the look of the letters, but that set is incomplete (missing the "6" and "7"). For this reason, decided to go with the more distinctive "segmented" numerals which are used in the game itself.

Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

@Patrick H. Lauke (redux) - How strange that a mostly-complete set of numerals was abandoned/unfinished!  Perhaps they wanted a "digital" look for the robot theme?

@goatmeal they use the other numerals, but only so they can do a 1/2/3/4/5 for their highscore position (the actual score itself uses the segmented one), and to write out the copyright date 1983 on the attract screen. so they didn't bother with 6 and 7 since they don't use those chars. very...economical ;)
