Recreation of the pixel font from Konami's "SD Snatcher" (1990) on the MSX2.
The font includes an almost complete set of hiragana and katakana characters. In the game's tile set, the dakuten and handakuten are stored in a separate tile. In this recreation, characters that use them are pre-combined into a single glyph. The dakuten and handakuten are not 8 pixels wide, and when used in game, they only take up as much width as necessary, making the Japanese text variable width/proportional. The latin characters, however, are all monospaced.
The game also includes a large number of Japanese idiographs. These have not been included in this recreation.
Except for the idiographs, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
