From the Final Fantasy Advance and DS games. Specifically the final version, from FFIV DS. I tried to make it compatible with all languages that use Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek scripts. Plus Japanese Hiragana and Katakana.

If you see problems, let me know.

CHANGES FROM IN-GAME ORIGINAL:
•Added additional letters and diacritics.
•Changed the circumflexed letters to use actual circumflexs instead of inverted breves, so I could add breved letters.
•Used half-pixels to center diacritics over letters.
•Made some diacriticized letters more consistent.

Ah, Square's "Chrono Trigger" (1995) on the SNES has not one, but two separate fonts on the go. This is the proportional font, used for all dialog boxes and in-battle status messages. I've expanded the special characters a bit to make it a tad more useful, keeping the (slightly jarring, thin, anemic, and not quite vertically balanced) style of the original. And in case you think "hey, this font looks strangely familiar"...turns out the bulk of the characters are a very close approximation of Susan Kare's venerable Chicago.

Recreation of the main font used in Square's "Final Fantasy III" (1990) on the NES. With the exception of two minor additions, only the characters used in the game (and present in the ROM) have been included. In addition to regular characters, the game itself uses a series of special ligatures ("il", "ll", "li" and special combinations with the aprostrophe, like "I'") that are not included here for "semantic purity". Note also the special -1px spacing on the "T", "t" and "@" characters - this was done in order to avoid having all other characters lead with an empty pixel column and therefore keeping it compatible with my Nintendoid 1 and 2 generic fonts for NES.

This is the in-game text from Xenogears on the Playstation 1. Most of the extended characters I had to create new. The original bitmap font used two colors to give the text an outline. This font contains only the outline, which makes it look correct on solid surfaces. If you use it on a transparent surface you will need to fill in the letters manually. (C) 1998 Squaresoft.

The font used for most text in Super Mario RPG. This was hand-drawn from a screenshot from the game so a couple of the characters might be off, but I have tried to be as accurate as possible. Of course, this is only the letters themselves, not with the blue outline that appears in the game.

This companion to my primary Final Fantasy 3 font contains the additional characters used for the FFIII title screen, plus the reduced-size numerals used to show hit points for attacks and healing during battle (which measure 6x6px, 1 pixel shorter than regular numerals, to allow for an outlined display that still fits in the NES' 8x8px sprite grid). As a bonus, a small concession to my usual font purity: I've mapped the 16x8px "Miss" (also used to denote attacks during battles) on the exclamation mark character!This is a clone of Final Fantasy 3

Ah, Square's "Chrono Trigger" (1995) on the SNES has not one, but two separate fonts on the go. This is the monospaced font, used for the menus and battle screens. I've expanded the special characters a bit to make it a tad more useful, keeping the (slightly jarring, thin, anemic, and not quite vertically balanced) style of the original. UPDATE: fixed a few stray pixels to more closely match the original, based on the actual game ROM.
