"This is Solid Snake. Respond, please." Recreation of the font from Konami's classic "Metal Gear" (1987) on the NES. Only the characters used in the game (and present in the ROM) have been included - if you need some missing special character, I'd suggest combining it with my Nintendoid 1 or 2.
Update 4/5/2018: fixed code point for the quotes and double exclamation mark; added the carriage return, box drawing elements and copyright symbol; removed the incorrect em-dash and vertical pipe.
Pixel font recreation from Konami's classic "Gradius" (1986). A variation on the generic Nintendo font, most notable in the letters V, Y and in some of the numeral. This font includes the special characters from my standard Nintendoid 1 to make it more generally useful, and for the first time includes the strange "horizontal semicolon" used on most of the early Nintendo games' start screens.
EDIT August 2019: it appears I was off by one pixel on the "horizontal semicolon". Fixed now.
This is a clone of Nintendoid 1Recreation of the 6px pixel font used in Nintendo's "Super Mario Kart" (1992) on the SNES. In the game, the font has a 2px spacing to account for the outline. In this recreation, I opted to just go for a 1px spacing - if you do use it outlined, make sure to add the extra pixel for authenticity.
Update Sept. 2019: added ":" and "," and fixed incorrect "Q", "V", "(" and ")"
The internet has quite some Mega Man fonts to offer, but there is simply no faithful recreation with extended character sets, Japanese glyphs, and all the other stuff you might want to type down in true Mega Man style.
So I decided to recreate the latest variant of the original game font myself. The result: "MMRock9" (which can be pronounced as "Rock you" in Japanese), a true-to-original, carefully researched recreation of the pixel font used in Mega Man 9 and 10.
This font features (likely) all that you could ask for - original monospace character margins, letter variants with diacritics, some game-specific bonus glyphs like Start/Select buttons and the Mega Man 3 background logo, and last but not least a full Japanese character set with all hiragana and katakana glyphs appearing in the Japanese version. Also included: Lots and lots of added glyphs as well as some minor character variations appearing in earlier Mega Man games.
The base font size and recommended setting for MMRock9 is 8pt and multiples of that. Use metric kerning and no additional smoothing effects for a thoroughly wily font experience!
The Mega Man series was primarily developed by Capcom and released on various systems between 1987 and 2012.
