Foundry DS
inspired by frodo7's most recent work, this is the result of me trying it for myself. Still, this is far from perfect, and any help would be greatly appreciated.
THIS MAY BE EXPANDED APON IN THE FUTURE.
The default font used by Adafruit's GFX library. The hex codes correspond to the cp437(true) chart on page 16:

Hex codes with bit[0] = 0, 1, 8, 9 were unavailable, so bit[2] is set as 1.
(Ex: 0x0001 => 0x0101)
Fixedsys is a family of raster monospaced fonts. The name means fixed system, because its glyphs are monospace or fixed-width (although bolded characters are wider than non-bolded, unlike other monospace fonts such as Courier). It is the oldest font in Microsoft Windows, and was the system font in Windows 1.0 and 2.0, where it was simply named "System". For Windows 3.x, the system font was changed to a proportional sans-serif font named System, but Fixedsys remained the default font in Notepad.
Fixedsys fonts family contains fonts encoded in several Windows code pages, with multiple resolutions of the font for each code page. Fixedsys fonts of different code pages have different point sizes.
The glyphs for the upper areas of each one appear to be drawn separately, not taken from a single master set, as there are visible differences in the appearance of various visually similar characters that are shared between the code pages.
Though Fixedsys is a sans-serif font, it is vaguely similar in appearance to the hardware text mode font of most IBM-compatible PCs, though not as similar as certain sizes of Terminal fonts seen in Windows.
In Windows 95, 98, and Windows Me, Fixedsys remains as the default font for Notepad. This font was superseded by Lucida Console in Notepad for later versions of Windows. In Windows 95, this default font cannot be changed. Fixedsys of other code pages can be selected by specifying script settings in font selection dialogue, but not font of all code pages can be chosen.
Due to its clean style and easy readability, it has enjoyed some popularity with the programming community, even giving rise to an imitation font — Fixedsys Excelsior — which, based on the original Fixedsys typeface, also includes a large number of Unicode script ranges.[2]
There is a certain amount of similarity between Fixedsys and Chicago, the default system typeface on the Apple Macintosh between 1984 and 1997. The key difference is that Chicago is a proportional typeface while Fixedsys is monospaced. A smaller CGA version of this font also exists, with some characters bearing a resemblance to the IBM 8x8 CGA font. The EGA version is nearly identical to the CGA version, only in differing in a small number of characters.
According to a string embedded in the .FON file (which is viewable with a hex editor or with a typeface editor such as Fony), this font was designed in 1984 by Bitstream Inc., but the high resolution 8514/a version (used in modern versions of Windows operating system as the high DPI variant, which is larger and looks different from the VGA version) was designed in 1987 by Microsoft Corporation.
Millions of people with Irish heritage across the globe today celebrate St. Patrick's Day. The country's patron saint introduced Christianity to Ireland around 432 CE, and his passing on March 17, 461 CE, became a day of commemoration in his homeland.
The holiday holds cultural significance in Canada especially in cities where people who claim Irish ancestry reside like, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Quebec. The country's first St. Patrick's Day parade was held in 1824 in Montreal. The modern celebration typically includes parades, traditional Irish music and dance performances, wearing green clothes and indulging in Irish cuisine and beverages.

If this reaches OVER 9000 glyphs, Someone will make Artistic Alphabet with this font, this font has 64+ block elements for every glyph and Christian Munk will surprise me with that font better than 7x12 Serif! [IT TAKES ME WEEKS?, HAS SUPPORT FOR KANBUN CHINESE SYMBOLS AND JAPANESE KANA?, DOESN'T MAKE FS LAG?, BEATS OFF 7X12 SERIF?]
⌠Feel free to request new or fixed glyphs!⌡
Latest update: Added some writing systems (Thai is unfinished)
All cap bold serif
kerned : Russian, Latin Basic, More Latin
I can't even type cyrillic extended, there are too many letters in latin extended, I don't have greek keyboard either
I wish I could make everything, but I'm a human after all (or am I?), I decided that this is good enough
Recreation of the pixel font used in the Sinclair ZX Spectrum (1982). Note the block element characters, set to their equivalent unicode points (U+2596 through to U+259F). Only the characters present in the computer's character set have been included.
