Been sitting on this one for almost a year. Time for its release.

Another old classic saved by digital enthusiasm. Nice one GM :)

Wow, BASIC! What a lot of memories! How many years have passed: 20, 30...? I'm with p2pnut.

Thanks, everyone! Please also see Codeman38's "Trash Eighties" from August 2009...

Trash Eighties by Codeman38

It likely came from a newer ROM version; his font includes (1) a true lowercase set, (2) several different designs for the following characters: E F G N O S W 0 4 5 . , " ' @ * # $ % / : ; \ and (3) the addition of the following characters: ^ ` { | } ~

Comment by Goatmeal 25th february 2012

Yep. My font is derived from the CoCo 3 ROM, which used the same font as the "B" model CoCo 2. (I had both.)

Comment by codeman38 26th february 2012

@Codeman38 -- We had the old grey CoCo 1 at our house... :^)

Comment by Goatmeal 26th february 2012

CoCo Nut update: Added the Left Arrow. Corrected the 0 position. Shifted all glyphs one pixel to the right for proper spacing.

But have you noticed KreativeKorp's own version of these fonts?

(Also, the name KreativeKorp is a result of replacing the Cs with Ks in CreativeCorp)

@Christianisb - I have. Rebecca has done a wonderful job of recreating MANY 'retro' personal computer system fonts. I'm a big fan. ;^)

And for others who may be interested in older personal computer system fonts, here is the website where they may be found: Relay Fonts - Retro Computing Fonts
