5x4 pixel font, perfect for Game Boy games development, pixel art, and general retro look.

Recreation of the pixel font from the original Japanese version of Nintendo/Game Freak/Creatures' "Pokémon Silver" (aka "Pocket Monsters Silver", 1999) on the Game Boy Color.

This font is very similar to the one used in "Pokémon Red", but it includes fewer latin characters, and the Katakana Letter Yu "ユ" (U+30E6) and Katakana Letter Ro "ロ" (U+30ED) are subtly different, shifted vertically by one pixel to align their baseline with the other katakana characters.

The tile set includes an incomplete set of latin characters. The arrows are mapped to "Black Up-Pointing Triangle" (U+25B2), "Black Right-Pointing Triangle" (U+25B6), "White Right-Pointing Triangle" (U+25B7), "Black Down-Pointing Triangle" (U+25BC), and "Black Left-Pointing Triangle" (U+25C0). The Japanese Yen "円" character is mapped both to the generic Yen (U+00A5) and the correct CJK unified idiograph (U+5186).

The font includes an almost complete set of hiragana and katakana characters. In the tile set, the dakuten and handakuten are separate tiles, positioned in the line above their respective character. In this recreation, characters that use them are pre-combined into a single glyph.

Lastly, this recreation also includes box drawing characters (U+2554, U+2550, U+2557, U+2551, U+255D, U+255A).

Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Beyond the extra accented/special characters and the inverted exclamation and question marks, the most notable difference to the English version is a modified lowercase "m", a different "é", and the inclusion of "+" and "&".
