Initials used with the non-speech text in King's Quest V: Absence Makes The Heart Go Yonder!, (C) 1990 Sierra On-Line.  These letters were not generated using an in-game font; they were actually pre-rendered static images within the game's art assets, used in conjunction with the Sierra text font Font.004.  While the letters were centered within the 16x15 sprites, the I and J were changed to proportional spacing for use with other fonts.

To match the two-tone sprites used in the game, this version allows the user to overlay a partial letter or letters in a different color for use in games or picture/image artwork.

Solid outline font used in King's Quest V: Absence Makes The Heart Go Yonder!, (C) 1990 Sierra On-Line.  Sierra Resource File Tag: "font.009" and is paired with the Sierra font "font.008".

This font was used for onle single phrase in the game: "A few hours later....." (occurring twice in the floppy disk version, but only once in the CD-ROM version).  Oddly enough, instead of using the outline font.009, the opening credits used the font.008 twice for a 'drop-shadow' effect...

And while they may have been intentional choices, there are several instances where the outline designs don't follow the patterns found with the majority of other glyphs (missing pixels, perhaps for legibility?). As such, the following characters:

• J O P Q R S X c j m n p q r s u v z ! ;

...have all been 'corrected' within the main set of glyphs; their original designs can be found in the More Latin section.

Font used in King's Quest V: Absence Makes The Heart Go Yonder!, (C) 1990 Sierra On-Line.   Sierra Resource File Tag: "font.008" and is paired with the solid outline version of this font, "font.009".

The font was used for the opening credits and for a single phrase during gameplay:

• Instead of using the solid outline version font.009 for the opening credits, a drop-shadow effect was employed (recreated here in my new sample).

• It was used later in the game WITH the solid outline version font.009 for one single phrase: "A few hours later....." (occurring twice in the floppy disk version, but only once in the CD-ROM version).
