This is a clone of Sonic the HedgehogI had a sheet of Shinobi's font, nobody had done it yet, now it's here! All characters are what appeared on the sheet - no custom glyphs (yet). I may get around to adding a question mark. Get your black ninja gear on and download now.
Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? Many of us asked that back in the 1980s as we learned our international geography through a computer game. If you played it on the Commodore 64, this is the font used on the computer readouts, and yes it was proportionally spaced! Which would be why it wasn't resource-ripped before. I had enough screen shots to work with, then worked out what the missing punctuation marks might look like.

This is a clone of The Font of DRUAGA (v)Recreation of "Normal Centipede" from CPFONTS.FON, included in Microsoft Arcade from 1993.
The original font seems to have been intended to be capital letters and numbers only, with what appears to be poorly-resized bitmaps from a different font in the rest of the character set. Some, especially the punctuation, were literally illegible. So I hope you'll forgive me that this isn't a 100% faithful recreation.
The Professor Layton font, but with an excess of added symbols and diacriticals. I hunted down font maps because I don’t have actual font maps just so I could make this. Please, go crazy.

FOR KANJI CHARACTERS: I recommend using the Zpix font and slightly raising the baseline on the Kanji characters. With a bit of adjustment you can get whatever you’re looking for in Japanese.

The spacing between lines seems a bit awkward in some cases, so you might want to adjust that, too, with this font.
This is a clone of Prof. LaytonI can't believe this is taken from so many typefaces published here; I could have created this typeface from scratch, but it's overly time-consuming for me to do that, so I'm just doing minor adjustments for the moment. (Now the design of the capital "A" is adjusted once again, so it looks more like the one in the original Sonic 2.)
Anyways, I have enjoyed Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for years and I'm somewhat fastidious about its font design, so the minor adjustments I have made is just to make it more accurate, and more typical of the original Sonic 2 -- very suitable for game subtitles in general, I guess.
One more thing, I just finished adjusting the "More Latin" section in this typeface, so this is the final draft.
