In the world of technology, fonts are a crucial part of creating a visual experience for users. From the earliest days of computing, fonts have played a significant role in shaping the way we interact with computers. Just like how handwriting can be a reflection of one's personality and style, fonts add a unique touch to the digital world. One of the most iconic fonts in the history of computing is the one used in old computers. This font, known as the Fixedsys font, was introduced in the 1980s and was the standard font for many operating systems, including DOS and Windows. Its simple yet blocky design gave off a retro, futuristic feel that was popular during that time. The Fixedsys font was also commonly used in early video games and software, making it a symbol of nostalgia for many technology enthusiasts. Despite its limitations, such as not having lowercase letters, the Fixedsys font had a significant impact on the evolution of typography in computing. It paved the way for other fonts to be created and used in modern computers, allowing for more creativity and expression in design. As technology continues to advance, it's essential to remember the humble beginnings of fonts and appreciate the role they play in our digital world, just like how the Fixedsys font will always have a special place in the hearts of old computer users.

This is a clone of 8-bit AnthonistructVariant of the Power Font containing more characters
It includes support for Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Armenian, Hebrew (In Development), Deseret, Shavian and Toto scripts and includes glyphs that can be added without the Unicode Letter sets option enabled as well. Unlike the alterego, it contains coverage of Unicode later than 7.0
Glyphs with more than one diacritical mark above or below are shown with stretched marks to make the glyph being at most 3 pixels long above
Fraktur Glyphs are rendered in a stencil-like style (Exlcuding the ones from Latin Extended-E), partly based on the FreakFraktur fontstruction made originally by Icelar but with adjustments
See here for the version containing glyphs that can only be added without the Unicode Letter Sets option enabled
This is a clone of PowerSome time after I decided to unleash Pixelbabania VI Deluxe onto the world, I deemed it appropriate to also create a light version to go alongside it. Had a good bit of fun making sure things looked right with this font, which also explains why I decided to fix its sister font while I was at it.
Here it is, at last. And just in time for the start of a new season, wherever in the world you all are.
4/12/2023 : Fixed up a few more glyphs of Box Drawing to make them work proper with their fellow glyphs.
I was annoyed that there was really no good recreation of the Minecraft font. So I made one and added some stuff like Hiragana and Katakana. :)
Fixed j, x, and 7. Original j at lc j, original x at lc x, original 7 at ^, and all other alts in the same positions of the original ABBA except alt a, g, n, and u which were not in the original ABBA and are in lc a, lc g, uc n, and lc u respectively, and alt 1 which was moved from ! to ` because of the punctuation.
All Greek alts are their lc’s except alt υ 2, which is in lc ψ.
Cyrillic alts:
Alt а: lc а
Alt д: lc д
Alt д 2: lc е
Alt д 3: lc ж
Alt ж: lc з
Alt л: lc л
Alt л 2: lc м
Alt л 3: lc н
Alt ф: lc ф
Alt х: lc х
( and ) are normal ends.
[ and ] are ribbon ends.
{ and } are turned ribbon ends.
« and » are diamond ends.
< is the border for thin letters, numbers and punctuation.
> is the border for thick letters, numbers and punctuation.
~ is the border for alt 1.
@ is the border for φ, alt φ, ж, ф, ш, щ, ы, ю, alt ф, and ש.

post soviet font
I took a look at the very first font I published and looking back at it now, I couldn't help but think I could have done better and gone much further with it. Having learned a few things along the way when I was working on the light version of Pixelbabania, I decided to invest some time into working on a much improved version of Pixelbabania VI, while once again following a self-imposed limitation. This time, I decided to go with 6x9 (with some exceptions) to allow a bit more wriggle room and to make characters with accents much nicer, and even decided to change up some of the characters to improve their look. Not only this, I decided I'd try and see if it was possible to add more characters from other sets and thus far, it had gone quite nicely.
After so much time on and off, now I share with you the fruits of my labor and love.
Note: I have done what I could to get N'ko and to a lesser extent Adlam to play nice; unfortunately I could not get the tone marks to actually just go above or below the characters properly, therefore they will take residence right next to the character, taking up another space. Apologies for any inconvenience caused to those who type in those languages.
04/12/23 : Fixed up a few more glyphs in Box Drawing to make them look and work proper with the others.
Current version includes Basic Latin, More Latin, Extended Latin A-E (E only has one complete glyph though), a nearly-finished Even More Latin, Greek and Coptic, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Braille Set, and some other stuff
Sizes of 6 and/or 12pt (or multiples of them) are recommended so that the font doesn't smoothen or gain translucent pixels.
Has support for 104 languages (according to FontDrop)
easily one of my largest fonts.
Includes Latin, Hebrew, Cyrillic, and more.
U+E000 is the .notdef glyph.
This is the largest Nokia font ever.
UPDATE [27 JUN 2023]: Fixed "ÿ". U+00FF
UPDATE [29 JUN 2023]: Fixed "ǐ". U+01D0
UPDATE [09 NOV 2023]: Fixed "ـ". U+0640

I was looking for a localization friendly pixel font and could not find any that had good coverage and was not outrageously expensive ($700+) for commerical usage. Thats why I created "PixelLocale".
This font is intended to be reminiscent of the original Pokemon Red/Blue games. Too see how they differ check out this image: https://imgur.com/ixoYRtd
It was important to me to create a consistant looking font across scripts.
You can use it however you like, 100% free with no attribution. Lets make the world more accessible.
Coverage:
Latin characters (815/815),
Greek and Coptic (119/119),
Cyrillic (263/263),
Georgian (83/83)
Hebrew (86/86) (Fontstruct has poor support form Niqqud and Cantillation)
Bopomofo (37/37) (Need feedback)
I'd love to add more scritps. When I started my goal was to have every glyph supported by Fontstruct, but after learning that support for many asian scripts was limited I halted. If someone can shed some light on these limitations and how severe they are and for what scripts they apply, please let me know. I can be reached at "johste[at]chumpware[dot]com".
