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.

Based on the 1981 Lady Bug game typeface. Lady Bug is an insect-themed maze chase video game produced by Universal Entertainment and released in arcades in 1981.[3] Its gameplay is similar to Pac-Man, with the primary addition to the formula being gates that change the layout of the maze when used.

This is an expansion of the GUI/Menu font used in the 16-bit Earthbound games (Earthbound; Mother 3). This is usually referred to as the Apple Kid font, according to EarthBound Central.
The expansion is based off of Noto Sans by Google, as the font contains a majority of the Unicode glyphs, some of which are shown as □ in the FontStructor and many other fonts; that means that there are glyphs hiding in those □'s!
1:1 pixel size is 12 size font.
The majority of all Unicode glyphs will be added soon.
Currently a work in progress. Expect some changes here and there occasionally.

Without doubt, this typeface is re-created from the NES release of "Pac-Man Championship Edition", and the game was officially published in 2020 as a Japanese release. Rumor has it that the game used to be a fan game as well, but for my part, this isn't the point.
The small letters "i" and "j" have been adjusted, so that they will look more accurate in terms of typeface design.
By the way, the design of the small letter "g" has been adjusted as well, because it's not until today that I could obtain the "Eat all fruit targets" achievement in this game, and that I could see the real appearance of the small letter "g" (see the below comment I have just posted). Sorry for the inconvenience caused by this!
