Just in case anybody wanted a small, serifed, pixel-sharp font with personality and figure (old-style) numerals, I whipped this up... then overachieved, perhaps. It has full Latin-1 and Latin Extended-A support, extended punctuation, most Greek, and as much Cyrillic as I could justify working on. It also has some Roman numerals, many arrows, and a few other random things.
If anyone out there actually wishes to use this for setting anything with Greek or Cyrillic alphabets, please let me know if I've made any terrible errors or if more characters are desired. I know better than to trust my typographical sense for alphabets I don't use in an actual language context!
~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 :)

mono 7x11 pixel font

I was annoyed that there was really no good recreation of the Minecraft font. So I made one and added some stuff like Hiragana and Katakana. :)
WebFont is SIL Open Font License freeware (version 1.0). If you like it for a website, you can use it as a web font. You can clone it, download it, whatever. Hopefully, if you use it as a web font, you will add a link to my site, Font-Journal (https://www.Font-Journal.com), in the credits of your website or blog (professional sites & blogs give credit for the resources used that aren't theirs), if you use it or distribute it, but that is not required.
You can edit, modify, append or do whatever you need to do with this font, including using it commercially or in creating your own art/graphic works, even a new version of the font as long as all further redistributed derivatives use a new reserved font name and remain under the same "SIL Open Font License".
This is a freeware font, it should never be sold, unless it is included as bonus freeware part of a paid collection. WebFont is FREE.
Supports a large latin character set (lots of latin), with extras like the Copyright, Trademark, Tel: symbols, currency signs and an assortment of little Dingbats. I try to use Dingbats for the UI when I design websites, so I included a few without weighing the font down too much, it still loads quickly. Loading a vector based font for UI stuff is a lot easier and quicker than loading graphic files.
Any questions, character requests? Go ahead and ask!
If you see anything that needs to be addressed, be sure to shout out at me, I'll see if I can fix stuff. - Doug Peters, Symbiotic Design

I was looking for a localization friendly pixel font and could not find any that had good coverage and was not outrageously expensive ($700+) for commerical usage. Thats why I created "PixelLocale".
This font is intended to be reminiscent of the original Pokemon Red/Blue games. Too see how they differ check out this image: https://imgur.com/ixoYRtd
It was important to me to create a consistant looking font across scripts.
You can use it however you like, 100% free with no attribution. Lets make the world more accessible.
Coverage:
Latin characters (815/815),
Greek and Coptic (119/119),
Cyrillic (263/263),
Georgian (83/83)
Hebrew (86/86) (Fontstruct has poor support form Niqqud and Cantillation)
Bopomofo (37/37) (Need feedback)
I'd love to add more scritps. When I started my goal was to have every glyph supported by Fontstruct, but after learning that support for many asian scripts was limited I halted. If someone can shed some light on these limitations and how severe they are and for what scripts they apply, please let me know. I can be reached at "johste[at]chumpware[dot]com".
Ever seen the classic Minecraft font in languages like Russian, Greek, Polish, Vietnamese ... ?
It’s possible by downloading this font.
This is possibly the biggest font I will ever create, and probably the one I'm most proud of at that. The original was built over the course of 4 months, and I'm very, very happy with how it turned out. Along with all of the 25 basic categories, I included 23 of my own - some finished, some unfinished. This has been a long process, sometimes fun, sometimes tiring, but I hope you find this font useful. Luckily, with all of the scripts it works with, it should have a use for everyone :) Please enjoy!
I am open to comments, suggestions and any other feedback. If you would like me to add another script, I am open to the task! :)
Edit: It's been more than a year and I'm still going strong! 6731 characters total. Trying to knock-off some smaller / less used scripts. :)
Jan 22, 2024: Fully finished font! 7500 total characters.
Thanks to everyone who has liked or downloaded! :)
Current version includes Basic Latin, More Latin, Extended Latin A-E (E only has one complete glyph though), a nearly-finished Even More Latin, Greek and Coptic, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Braille Set, and some other stuff
Sizes of 6 and/or 12pt (or multiples of them) are recommended so that the font doesn't smoothen or gain translucent pixels.
Has support for 104 languages (according to FontDrop)
A better version of BM MINI with much more characters. Compatible with English, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Norwegian, German, Portuguese, Hungarian, Danish, Swedish, Icelandic, Finnish, Vietnamese, Russian, Belarusian, Serbian, Ukrainian and Macedonian.
This is my new font, PixelBytes!
