Recreation of the pixel font used for the menu and options screen in Konami's "Castlevania: Bloodlines" (aka "Castlevania: The New Generation", 1994) on the Sega Mega Drive. Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
A font which appears in "Defender/Joust" (1995) on Game Boy. This font is incomplete within the ROM, so many letters and symbols were added for accessibility.
This font is used for Joust, although the numbers which actually appear ingame have their own look which is very different to these.
Font from the awesome PC/Steam game "Streets of Rogue".
I'll add More Latin support soon, provided the game actually has it. Entering those glyphs into the game is a pain - no copy/paste and Alt codes don't seem to work. I'll probably use a savegame editor to change a character's class name into a bunch of More Latin glyphs so that I can see how they render.
Recreation of the ingame font from "Star Ocean: The Second Story" for the original PlayStation.
This font also supports EU languages as well as Japanese. I'll have to get the ROMs to see exactly how those glyphs are drawn (Yes, I own the physical discs for this game). If the EU/JP versions have the same metrics, I'll append them to this font.
These elegant letters appear as the original main font used in the little-known tactical SNES RPG Gemfire, or Super Royal Blood in Japan.
Ishmeria is a faithful and exact recreation of said in-game font, expanded with hundreds of diacritic variants, number variations, additional bonus characters and various dingbat symbols. And that's not everything: all Japanese hiragana and katakana characters from the original version are also included, making this one of my most extensive recreations to date.
The base font size and recommended setting for Ishmeria is 16pt and multiples of that. Use metric kerning and no additional smoothing effects for an authentic pixel performance.
Gemfire on the SNES, known as Super Royal Blood in Japan, was developed and published by Koei in 1992.

Megaten 20XX is a monospaced sans-serif pixel font recreation based on the original typeface appearing in the Super Famicom video game Shin Megami Tensei II, developed and released by Atlus in 1994.
The character set of this font was notably expanded with many additional special characters, diacritic variants, unique glyphs, and the like, each one of them designed to match the spirit and style of the original font design. Also included is the full original set of Japanese characters.
To recreate the original in-game appearance of this font, I recommend to choose font sizes that are multiples of 7pt and avoid any anti-aliasing or other font smoothing methods.
