A remake of the font from the GBC production "Mental Respirator" from the Phantasy demo group. (A few of the characters I interpolated for the full Basic Latin Charset)
All design credits for the original characters go to Exocet of Phantasy
Font recreation from the NES game: Metroid.

Ever wanted to use a Minecraft font but can't type accents? Well this is the perfect font for you!
•More accurate than Minecraftia (has that pixel on the 2 that gives me OCD because it's not on the Minecraftia font)
•Has characters with accents (designed by me, might not be accurate)
•Has special characters (designed by me, might not be accurate)
•Has some emojis
•Has fractions (yes i know they already exist in Minecraft, i just wanted them to actually be recognisable)
~This "is" Minecraft Gnu font, except it has two times better quality and I added much more glyphs! Please tell me what characters should I add next :)

WHAT SHOULD I MAKE NEXT?
The Unicode bitmap font from Minecraft, also known as GNU Unifont. The game has a font priority system called "providers" that looks for bitmap data for a specific character in the non-Latin European character set first, then in the accented Latin character set, then in the game's low-res default font, then finally here, in the high-res Unicode character set. You can override this priority system by going into Options... > Language..., then setting "Force Unicode Font" to ON.
The game stores this font in images containing 16 rows and 16 columns of characters. Each character is 16 pixels wide and 16 pixels tall, totalling 256 characters per image. Each image represents one Unicode codepage, and there are 256 pages, which covers characters U+0000 to U+FFFF. Control characters and most CJK characters are omitted here, because FontStruct doesn't officially support them.
The font is not monospace, however, so the effective widths of each character are stored in a separate file called glyph_sizes.bin. Information for each character is stored in one byte, and the upper and lower 4 bits of this byte represent the start column and end column with a number ranging from 0 to 15, where 0 is the leftmost column of the character's allotted 16x16 space, and 15 is the rightmost column, respectively.
Knowing all of this allowed me to automate most of the steps involved in creating this recreation. I did not use the FontStructor to make this, I instead used a program to directly interact with FontStruct's API. It is possible to add unsupported characters to a font with this method, but I chose to stay within the limits of what is officially supported.
A font made with Minecraft items* starting with the letter it's representing!**

This monospace font was first created in paint using only the smallest possible grid (3x3), with wich every common glyph can (recognisable) be drawn. In this font not every glyph can be deciphered on its own. But on a second glance you shoud easily be able to read a word, phrase or a sentence.
