a complete recreation of the original Amiga 500/1000/2000 Workbench 1.3 version of the default Topaz 8 font, with the addition of a handful of custom characters. this font is presented in the corrected, double-height ratio of 16 pixels, as it would have appeared on screen.
updated (07.12.2020) to correct the "T".

Recreation of the pixel font from Codemasters' "Dizzy III - Fantasy World Dizzy" (1989) on the Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC, and ZX Spectrum.
The same font is used in all subsequent "Dizzy" adventure games - "Dizzy 3 and a Half - Into Magicland" (1991), "Dizzy IV - Magicland Dizzy" (1991), "Dizzy V - Spellbound Dizzy" (1991), and "Dizzy - Prince of the Yolkfolk" (1992).
Note that "Dizzy V - Spellbound Dizzy" (1991) uses the "66" style left quotation marks (U+201C) at the start of any speech, while in all other games the "Double High-Reversed-9 Quotation Mark" (U+201F) is used.
"Dizzy II - Treasure Island Dizzy" (1988) already used an early version of this font, but with fewer special characters. One major difference is the single quote/apostrophe character - compared to all later games, which use a "9" style apostrophe, "Dizzy II" used a straight diagonal small one. This has been included in this recreation, mapped to "Right Single Quotation Mark" (U+2019).
Also note that the egg character - used to indicate lives in game - is mapped to "black circle" (U+25CF).
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Updated 06/2023: added the apostrophe from "Dizzy II", added the "66" style left quotation mark, and confirmed that this same font is used for the rest of the series, and on all other 8-bit platforms.
This font is an imitation of the PETSCII Commodore font.
I made this font out of a desperate desire to have the "commodore font" but under a liberal license, so I'm releasing it as CC0.
update: someone requested I release this under the OFL, so you can use it as that as well!
Tweet at me @josefnpat if you see any errors, or if you just want to harass me.
Please enjoy, make gaems son.

Recreation of the pixel font from Imagineering/Arc Developments' "The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants" (1991) on 16bit systems (Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, Amiga, Atari, MS-DOS).
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
A thin proportional font, based on the title sequence of the Bitmap Brothers' "Chaos Engine" (1993).
Designed to be used aliased at a size of 9px (or multiples thereof).
Originally created in 2004 based on the Amiga version, and extended in 2012. Repackaged in 2022, with a small tweak to the exclamation, question, and quote marks, and the addition of the ampersand from the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis and SNES versions.
Last (hopefully) final tweaks now 27/08/2022, fixing the "G", "V", "X", "1", "9", adding a copyright symbol, and tweaking the spacing and vertical position of some of the punctuation marks, referencing the SNES version some more.
A thin proportional font, based on the upgrade shop in Bitmap Brothers' "Chaos Engine" (1993) on the Amiga, Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, and SNES.
In the game, this font uses antialiasing, and is used both as a monospaced and proportional font. This recreation simplifies the shapes, omits the antialiasing, and keeps it as a purely proportional font.
Only the characters used in game/present in the console games' tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Capcom's "LED Storm" (1988) on the Amiga (and Atari ST).
Gameplay-wise, this is a port of "LED Storm Rally 2011", rather than the more common "LED Storm" (aka "Mad Gear", 1988) arcade machine.
Only the characters used in the game have been included.
Sans Serif Version
A 8x8 monospaced Pixel Font with double-wide horizontal Pixels to fit in a C64 Koala Painter Image with only 160x200 Resolution in Multicolor Mode. You can paint a 320x200 image, draw the text on it and convert it to C64 Koala Format using Project One without distortions (hint: use font size 8px and Height: 85% in Photoshop).
It was very hard to make the chars with so few pixels that some characters didn't make sense to create. The font fits perfectly in the 8x8 color matrix of the C64, too.

Ah, Commodore products. Remember them? This is from their most popular printer! (The MPS-801, but you can guess that from the title.) For some reason, years ago I felt compelled to print out an entire CHR$ list. Now fast-forward to present day, where me with a smartphone can take photos of it and zoom in and stuff and put together a whole font. Dot matrix is so easy, hm? :)
