As this is my 1000th font (with most of them computer/game recreations, collated for The Video Game Font Preservation Society), it's worth noting why I chose this.
The arcade game itself is rather obscure, and not very good. However, the characters are, for the most part, very "classic arcade font" - though this font does have a few notable little quirks that make it unique (the weirdly slanted "0", the "8" with its offset counters, the mix of serif and sans serif). But most of all, what really struck me about the font is the colour treatment in game - a beautiful "desert chrome" rendition that just screams late 80s/early 90s.
This recreation uses the special OpenType SVG (TTF+SVG) format, which currently has limited support.
One minor tweak I made was to the "T", which had a very odd inbalance. Apart from that, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the main pixel font from Capcom's "Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara" (1996).
While the letters and numbers are the same as "Knights of the Round" (1991) (with the exception of the oddly modified "g", "j" and "y"), this game changes most of the punctuation/special characters, and adds a large number of extended/accented latin characters (though there is also a variant set, which isn't as complete and looks rather awful).
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

This is a clone of Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara (F)Recreation of the italic pixel font from Capcom's "Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara" (1996). This font is very sparingly used in the game - apparently, just for the character names, SP/HP counters, and (partially at least) the inventory ring interface.
This font includes a near complete set of hiragana and katakana characters, as well as a wide range of special characters (such as a full set of zodiac symbols).
