Found this on CSDB.dk. It's called "Dorm" by a guy from Norway known as Nuckhead of the Backbone society. Caps only with a few punctuation marks. You can make a cool effect starting with pipe (|), several equals (=) and finishing with at (@). No numerals yet but I'll come back and add those, plus I want to do a sans version without the shadow-lines.
I've found a few other demo-scene typefaces that I wouldn't mind Fonstructifying.
Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? Many of us asked that back in the 1980s as we learned our international geography through a computer game. If you played it on the Commodore 64, this is the font used on the computer readouts, and yes it was proportionally spaced! Which would be why it wasn't resource-ripped before. I had enough screen shots to work with, then worked out what the missing punctuation marks might look like.
Also found this on CSDB, called Foldfont. Meant to look like folded paper. This could be a great colour font, but I'm cheap and only have a free account, so you're getting it in black and white. Still, it looks pretty good when enlarged so it's perfect for headings. Enjoy.
Super Mario Abyss is based on "Super Mario Bros by Abyss", a hacked version of Great Giana Sisters for Commodore 64. The game had its own character set, here, with a few additions. Its faux italics make for a good scrawl.
Well, it's been a while because I've run out of fonts I want to convert/build. This one is LeConte from GEOS on the Commodore 64. It is pretty much a clone of Susan Kare's Chicago for the Apple systems, so you can use it as a pixelly Apple font in your works.
Wouldn't have minded redoing this with curves, but decided on going with full retro pixelled corners, as that's my main schtick.
Yet another GEOS font! This is a recreation of Venetian from FontPack PLUS, which was a 24-point font. It had its own inherent imperfections, some of them I fixed, others I haven't... decide for yourself if it's good or not. I haven't kerned anything either. Spacing was 4 pixels between characters in the original.
And why the name? Venetian blinds! I decided not to rename it "Venice" here because there's other fonts with that name.
Wizard of Wor. I noticed it had an interesting double-height font on the Commodore 64, where letters are combinations of a top and bottom half. I've fudged things a bit to fill the bog-standard ASCII set.
I've added the six character sprites, facing left and right. Here's how to generate them.
Burwor: Alt-0161 and Alt-0171
Garwor: Alt-0162 and Alt-0172
Thorwor: Alt-0163 and Alt-0173
Worrior (Player): Alt-0164 and Alt-0174
Worluk: Alt-0165 and Alt-0175
Wizard of Wor: Alt-0166 and Alt-0176
This font is a Serif font. It means that there a little hooks on the end of most characters, similar to the Times New Roman font. For more information, visit this Wikipedia article on the difference between Serif and Sans-Serif fonts.
Font specifications: Average character size: 8x5, largest character size: 11x5; 7x7, smallest character size: 1x1. Avaliable versions: Regular, Not avaliable (yet) versions: Bold, Italic, Italicised bold
Enjoy!
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.
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.
