A personal retake on my font "AJN Toronto", which in term was a take on the Macintosh font "Toronto."

Private use contains alternative glyphs, most of which are meant to be closer to the original font.

On the Classic Macintosh envorionment there were several fonts: Geneva, Chicago, Times, Courier... there was also a font called New York, which printed looked pretty classical, and on the screen it had a very coquette, sophisticated forms, that reminds us to the needlepoint style.

With Mac OS X, this font got discontinued. At least until 2019, when it was re-introduced on Apple Books. As the screens were better (the fabulous retina displays), there was no pretty pixelated characters anymore, but a font that was very similar to the printed version of NY font.

With this careful pixel-to-pixel reconstruction of the old New York 12pt font, we can enjoy again the very exquisite taste and the true art that Susan Kare had shown when she crafted this font almost 40 years ago.

I have done the Plain, Bold and Italic fonts. I didn't dared to do the italic bold, and i really don't think anyone shall ever need it.

Last week my beloved iMac stopped working for good. It's been more than a decade of a fantastic relationship, but now I have to accept the fact that it won't be with me anymore... With that in mind, I've collected  these vintage Mac icons, most (maybe all) made by the great Susan Kare in the best 80's. Curiously, you will see that many of them have remained until today with very few modifications, but others (that dot matrix printer, those faxes, those floppy disks...) have definitely passed into the History. I remember with particular displeasure the d***  Bomb, which appeared unexpectedly  when the computer crashed -too frecuently- and you then lost all the work not saved manually. Freaky old times. My favourite character still being Clarus, the dogcow (at the Z, of course). Hope you like them.

A much updated version of the Chicago font used in early Macintosh computers from the 80's. Changes include: Made numerals tabular, extended language support, and additional symbols.

A recreation of the first San Francisco from 1984, originally called Ransom, by the incomparable Susan Kare.

I noticed that among the various recreations of the original bitmap fonts for the Macintosh, this iconic design was missing, so I decided to fill the gap.

I used an image rather than the font as a reference, and don’t know the intended point size, the spacing could be off, and the number of characters is unfortunately very limited.

A remake of the 9-point version of Apple's bitmap font Monaco, found on old Macs. The vector version of Monaco is only available as a pre-installed font on Apple computers; the file still has bitmap versions embedded for sizes 9, 10, 12, and 14.

This font currently contains the OpenType Pro character set. Some OpenType Pro characters didn't exist in the original font, so I drew them myself while trying to stay consistent with the original design. In addition, some small inconsistencies have been corrected (for example, making ' and " the same height). If it gets 300 downloads, I’ll add OpenType Com characters.

No saben, pero parece que me encariñé mucho de la tipografía Monaco_15 de Susan Kare (Aunque tenga sus Errores).

Lo que pasa con la tipografía es que primero hice la versión bitmap para Windows (.FON) y lo extendí a todos los caracteres Unicode para este formato para que no salga un error en el soporte de idiomas.

Después de muchos años, pude regresar a la pagina que hice esta versión de Monaco_15 llamándolo “MonacoTTF” y lo comencé a desarrollar en el 10/1/2022 y logré extender la cantidad de símbolos disponibles para la fuente.

Recomiendo que lo descarguen su versión TrueType porque comprobé que la versión OpenType contiene errores

An extra bold version of the Chicago font from early Apple Macintosh computers.

The classic Mac font Chicago but with 1-pixel wide strokes.

An even-more-modernized and expanded version of Geneva 9, one of Apple's system fonts in Macintosh System 1. 

Full list of changes:

• Removed extra space after lowercase y

• Redrew & so its height matches that of capital letters

• Re-redrew # symbol (more condensed)

• Alternate glyphs for Greek alphabet ΔΩμ that fit better with text (math symbol versions of all 3 characters are unchanged)

• Added even more Unicode characters

• Checked accuracy of font in emulated MacPaint; added characters (e.g. integrals) that were in original font but not Geneva 9.1

• The accented and unaccented lowercase a's were in fact different in the original font, but I made them both double-story here for consistency

IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS FONT IS NO LONGER BEING WORKED ON. I HAVE A BIGGER FONT TO WORK ON FOR THE TIME BEING.

YOU ARE FREE TO CLONE AND FINISH THIS FONT IF YOU WANT.

Finally done. Phew! It took two days to make this. This is a full collection of 5×7 Dot Matrix characters as seen on many devices, like Texas Instruments calculators. A lot of these are custom. Sources include TI-83, TI-86, TI-89, Casio Monochrome Graphing Calculators, Casio fx-115ES PLUS, and the rest, I created them myself. I included fractions for those themes on Microsoft Office don't have matching "1/3" and other fractions with the "1/4", "1/2", and "3/4". The fullwidth characters are substitutes for the other characters in the regular style, such as the math "x" and "y" from Casio.

Please note that character sets like Arabic and some Math Operators are beyond 5×7 pixels. If you want to know why? Because Arabic is very big and if I put it all in 5×7 pixels, the text will look weird, won't really fit inside, and there would be no point to it. I left it as is. Roman Numerals cannot fit if you were doing the "VIII" character, for example.

Enjoy!

8/28/2019: Font created.
1/7/2020: Added characters in the following form: Fullwidth and Halfwidth are used for making TI-73 Explorer characters, plus actual monospace setting characters. Note that Runic, Tagalog, and Hanunoo are replaced with character variants. The last variation of a character is from Minecraft's font. The fractions are also changed to level the line spacing. The wide "M" is never ever for use on Monospacing.
1/8/2020: More variations are added, extended to replace Buhid. I also added other math symbols and more. To type x̄, press unicode shortcut and type 01b2. To type ȳ, press unicode shortcut and type 01b3. I also added over a hundred, or two hundred, more characters to stock up on the font. Oh and I changed the filters to separate the pixels for a more pixel and retro look. Also fixed the spacing on the "Щ" character.

9/8/2020: Added a bunch of more characters to the font set.

8/25/2023: fixed the license so that the download works now.

A clone of Geneva size 9, way back from the original Macintosh. Created by referencing MacPaint 1.4 in Mini vMac.

As far as I know, it's complete and accurate to the first version of the font. Most characters have a one-pixel space immediately after them, and no space before them, with the result that generally, there is a one-pixel space between each pair of characters. Some characters, like "A" and "«", defy this convention; I've made them match the original font, even in cases (like "A") where I didn't see why the deviation was necessary. 

A version with more accented characters, modernized punctuation (such as larger # and lowered /\), and tighter spacing is here: http://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/1304775/geneva-9

Font from Betrayal At Krondor, (C) 1993 Dynamix / Sierra On-Line. Bitmap typeface that starts and ends most chapters in the greatest computer RPG of all time, "Betrayal At Krondor". Now 100% accurate, thanks to Flowswitch at the xBAK forum. Based on "Venice" by Bill Atkinson (one of the the original Macintosh system fonts) and "Naples" from EA's 'Deluxe Paint II Enhanced'.
