Recreation of the large pixel font Zippo Games/Rare/Acclaim's "Wizards & Warriors III: Kuros: Visions of Power" (1992).
Note that the "&" character is wider than 8px - in the game, it uses 4 separate 8×8 tiles. In this recreation, the character width is nonetheless set to 8px, with the ampersand overlapping the following letter (usually, a space character) by one pixel.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Namco's "Splatterhouse 3" (1993) on the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis.
The font uses an unusual spacing, where the uppercase characters, the numbers, the ampersand, and the question mark have a width of two tiles / 16px, and the lowercase characters and remaining punctuation marks have a width of one tile / 8px.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Recreation of the large proportional antialiased pixel font from Westone/Hudson Soft's "Riot Zone" (aka "Crest of Wolf", 1992) on the PC Engine CD/TurboGrafx-CD.

Recreation of the large pixel font from Julian Gollop/Target Games' "Laser Squad" (1988) on the Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, and MSX.
This font is simply a double-height version of the regular font.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
This is a clone of Laser SquadRecreation of the large pixel font from Capcom's "Final Fight" (1989).
This font is used in the intro cinematic. In the original, the double quotes are awkwardly split over two tiles. This recreation combines them into a single character. The recreation also corrects the missing antialiasing in the "3". However, it retains the original minus/dash (as seen in the character bio sheets), which is far too high.
This recreation uses the special TTF+SVG format, which currently has limited support. As the font relies on antialiasing, I did not create a separate monochromatic version of the font.

This is a cloneRecreation of the large pixel font from Wolf Team/Telenet/Riot's "Valis: The Fantasm Soldier" (1991) on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis.
This font is used primarily in the intro cinematic.

Recreation of the large pixel font from Capcom's "Street Fighter II: The World Warrior" (1991).
This font is used for the score, "You win"/"You lose"/"Bonus stage"/"Start !" messages, and the after-fight taunts.
Note that in the game, only the uppercase characters are used. In the ROM, the lowercase characters are vertically misaligned - this recreation fixes this, setting them to the same baseline as the uppercase. Apart from this change, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

This font is used for the score counter, "You win"/"You lose", in-fight messages (for first hits, combos, etc.), and the after-match taunts.
Some of the characters (such as the "M") are one pixel wider than the overall monospaced character width of 12 pixels, so their drop shadow overlaps/falls behind the following character, which is game-accurate.

Recreation of the small pixel font from the european/north american release of Climax Entertainment/Sonic! Software Planning's "Shining Force" (1992) on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis.
This font is unusual, as each character not only comprises two tiles (for its height), but also features characters that are wider than the maximum 8px tiles. In the game's tile set, this was achieved by using a custom encoding, where a single tile contains the combined values for two horizontal tiles.
See this short Twitter thread for a little dissection of the tile set.
The width of each character is also variable and encoded in the bottom tile for each character. Unfortunately, I was unable to work out the logic behind the width information bits - so, for characters used in the game, the correct width was matched manually, and for any characters not encountered (yet) in any of the dialog boxes, I took an educated guess...
Due to the complexity of this encoding, I won't tackle the hiragana/katakana large font from the japanese release.

Recreation of the large pixel font from Data East's "Shackled" (aka "Breywood", 1986).
This font is used primarily for the highscore screen. While each character uses four 8×8 tiles, in game the width of the characters is tweaked so that they're only 12 pixels wide (except for the three letters used for the highscore name itself, which use the full 16 pixel width), which is what this recreation uses.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the large (16x16) pixel font from LJN/Software Creations' "Spider-Man and Venom: Maximum Carnage" (1994) on the SNES and Sega Mega Drive / Genesis. Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the large pixel font from Taito's "Darius" (1987), also reused in "Darius II" (1989).
In the tile set for "Darius", the "$" was missing a few pixels - this was addressed in "Darius II", and this recreation contains the dollar sign from the latter version.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the large pixel font from Taito's "Syvalion" (1988).
The original has an additional subtle 1px border around all characters, which acts as basic antialiasing. In this recreation, this border has been removed.
Note the "black circle" (U+25CF), "medium shade" (U+2592), and the round "target" character that has been mapped to "currency symbol" (U+00A4)
