Font used in 10th Frame (and the Leaderboard Golf series) for the Commodore 64 by Access Software.  I used 10th Frame's smaller lettering for lower case, and the box score numbers for an alternate set of digits (use Shift 1-8, [ and ] for these).  The letters used shading (grey pixels next to the black ones) so I've tried to mock that.

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.

Stern from GEOS FontPack PLUS on the Commodore 64.  Script font with joins.  I haven't done more than basic kerning on this so it may be a bit "rough" in places.  Still, it's the full basic ASCII set, and it's easier to read than Mistral.

I was frustrated at not being able to concentrate on anything so I made this

Silent Service for the Commodore 64

Bancroft, from GEOS Font Pack PLUS by Berkeley Softworks, for the Commodore 64.  Only the original's character set, which is missing a LOT.  Arial Black could learn a lot from this one, lol.

Boalt from GEOS FontPack 1 on the Commodore 64.

Apparently Boalt was so popular that it was included in FontPack PLUS too.  Personally, I didn't care much for Boalt.  It's heavy, wide, big serifs - not my kind of thing.  But without much else to create, and wanting to keep in the Fontstruct game, here it is.  Rescuing these fonts from obscurity is the main prize!

Unkerned, and no extra characters other than what the original had.

Flints is a font from GEOS FontPack PLUS on the Commodore 64.

Odd backward-leaning characters.  Kerning not quite right in places, any suggestions welcome.  I deliberate made the spacing 1 pixel looser than default, to try and match the original's feel.

Our  member Omegaville's comment made me think regarding  his/her font recreation "ORIENT" and that he missed not having the "DECOR" from the GEOS font pack for the Commodore64. I found this DECOR design in my archives. Omegaville didn't have a valid file in the original font pack I've decided to try recreating "DECOR" for all C64 fanatics - but for use on modern windows computers.

Work in progress! I'll add lower case later.

When I've finished this I'll attempt adding diacritics of the More Latin set if I can figure out how to add diacritics so that they look like they belong with the original style. These new accented glyphs won't fit into the pixel restrictions used on the C64 fonts!

Daredevil Denis from the Commodore 64

Well, it's been a while, work has ramped up during this school term.  I never complain about that though.  I'd rather be busy with work I'm comfortable doing.  But I digress.

This font is Spruce, as seen in GEOS FontPack PLUS on the Commodore 64.  Not sure whether you'd call this stencilled or segmented.  It's got an odd set of descenders, and I've corrected some glyps so they're symmetrical top and bottom, even if that gives them ascenders.  This may not spruce up your font collection as such (groan)...

Lewis from GEOS FontPack PLUS for the Commodore 64.

Another Old West font... normally I don't care much for them, I never warmed to Playbill.  Lewis feels like it's got a bit more space - almost a cross between Playbill and Italian Print.

University font from GEOS for the Commodore 64.  This was one of the default fonts included with GEOS and GeoWrite.  I think it's based on one of Susan Kare's Mac fonts, can't remember which one.  Elegant and may even work its way back into regular use for me...

Another Commodore 64 game font - Alternate Reality.  I've never played it but it looks interesting... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternate_Reality_(series)

Character set from Frak! for the Commodore 64.  Just the characters from the game ROM (scores, high score table etc.).  Nothing special, just a bold monospaced font.

Orient, from The Print Shop Companion for the Commodore 64 by Broderbund Software.

I never got to use Orient - my copy of PS Companion had two bad files, the fonts Orient and Deco (which were my two favourites from the samples in the manual!  Go figure).  Whilst many Asian-style fonts exist, they weren't as wide as this one.  Orient is much more... inelegant.

Characters are all that were in Print Shop... if anything I should fix the pairs kerning.

Spats, based on the original from GEOS FontPack PLUS on Commodore 64 by Berkeley Softworks.

This one took me a lot longer than usual.  Rather than just a straight pixel rendering, I used Fontstruct's diagonal blocks to make smoother glyphs.  What we have is a balance between the original's square letterforms and a modern take on the diagonal stripes.

The glyphs included are only what was in the original.  If it proves popular enough I'll do some more glyphs.

Parallax by Ocean Software for the Commodore 64.  A quickie font that leans to the left.

Character set from Lazy Jones by David Whittaker.  Very basic job

Channing from GEOS Font Pack 1 by Berkeley Softworks.

There are similar fonts around like Premi or Andes, but I've always preferred this one.  This was a morning quickie job.

Typewriter from Print Shop by Broderbund Software.  Despite it's name, it's a proportional font not monospaced.

Block font from The Print Shop by Broderbund Software.

Using VICE, I used Print Shop's Screen Magic option with every character in the set to generate a screen dump.  I like Block because it's got the Western feel but isn't as condensed as Playbill.

Bubble - from FontPack 1 (and re-released in FontPack PLUS) for GEOS on the Commodore 64.  Basic 1980s outline font.  I'm hoping to remake as many GEOS fonts as I can that aren't readily-available typefaces.

Wizball font, Commodore 64 version.  No extras, just what the character set has - lower case only.  Am going to combine this with a set of capitals to make something more interesting.

I am proud to present FontKnox, one of the more popular fonts in GEOS on the Commodore 64.  I took a bit longer with this one but it was well worth it.  The font is meant to look kind of embossed and metallic, hence its original name.

As it's decorative, I've included only its original characters; I've used the bottom of the semicolon to make quotation marks.

This is some random set labelled "BX_1" from Peter Kofler's web site.  I don't know what game or software it's from.  I just remember I made a bitmap font of this years ago with "Fony".  Now it's a TrueType.  Do with it as you will :)

Falcon Patrol II by Steve Lee, published by Virgin Software (yes, that Virgin Group).

Uridium by Andrew Braybrook for the Commodore 64 (and various other platforms).  I've managed to interpret the graphic tiles to reproduce the letter set from the title screen, HUD, high scores etc. as a font.  I thought the capitals were too wide but was my imagination (and the screen grab I took of the charset!).

Have done some cool interpretations of punctuation... and a few glyphs for you:

` for Colour

~ for Black & White

^ for Player

| for Joystick

} for Ship Remaining

{ for mystery... try it and see!

One of the more eccentric fonts in GEOS on the Commodore 64 was Elmwood, released in FontPack 1.  This was the only font larger than 24 point, clocking in at 36.  Figuring it'd be a fairly easy challenge to port over to FontStruct, here it is.  (The Commodore charsets can become a bit repetitive after a while.)

Character set from Impossible Mission loading screen on the Commodore 64.  Original contained glyphs for A-Z capitals and digits 1984 only.

Have used some of the angular blocks to create smoother characters, while using the original pixelled versions for lower case.  This could do with some extra work to improve it, if anyone else wants to have a go then feel free to clone it :)

Second of two quickies in an hour tonight.  BC Bill, from Imagine Software, used this great little character set in its high score table.  Given the game it's meant to look like stone scratchings or even bones.  Unfortunately even after extracting the charset from the game ROM, I found it's just alphanumeric - I made up a full stop character (yeah like that's a big ask LOL).  At some point I'll add extra punctuation, I just wanted to get this out there.

First of two quickies in an hour tonight.  Here we have Twinky Goes Hiking.  Probably the only thing this font can do for you is give you the earworm that is its theme tune.
