Pixel font recreation from Konami's classic "Gradius" (1986). A variation on the generic Nintendo font, most notable in the letters V, Y and in some of the numeral. This font includes the special characters from my standard Nintendoid 1 to make it more generally useful, and for the first time includes the strange "horizontal semicolon" used on most of the early Nintendo games' start screens.
EDIT August 2019: it appears I was off by one pixel on the "horizontal semicolon". Fixed now.

This is a clone of LucasArts SCUMM - OutlineClone of LucasArts SCUMM - Subtitle - Roman. Outline font used in the cut scene subtitles in "Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge" by LucasArts (1991). Extra Latin Characters supplied by marioflea82. Touched-up numerous outline flaws. Modified characters: L, general shape of "a" letters, ring above å New Characters: ' ; Note that you will have to DOUBLE the font size of the Outline TTF if you are using it together with the Solid TTF version. Just one of those FontStruct quirks that will hopefully be addressed in the future (where outline TTFs are rendered at 1/2 the size of the solid TTFs).
This is a clone of LucasArts SCUMM - Subtitle - RomanC64 character set for Gauntlet and The Deeper Dungeons (DD) games. Found a few odd characters that don't get used in the game, and others only used in DD for when the player's picked up a hidden potion (e.g. extra armour, extra shot strength).
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.
