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".

A remake of the font from the GBC production "Mental Respirator" from the Phantasy demo group. (A few of the characters I interpolated for the full Basic Latin Charset)

All design credits for the original characters go to Exocet of Phantasy

Recreation of the main pixel font from Nintendo's "The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap" (2004) on the Game Boy Advance.

This is the proportional variant, as used in the game's intro and dialog boxes.

A handful of characters - ™ trade mark sign (U+2122), ♪ eight note (U+266A), ❤ heavy black heart (U+2764), ▶ black right-pointing triangle (U+25B6) - had very subtle antialiasing. In this recreation, it has been removed. The tileset also includes two different sets of double quotation marks (which are not used in the game itself) - the "fatter" ones have been mapped to heavy double turned comma quotation mark ornament (U+275D) and heavy double comma quotation mark ornament (U+275E).

This font includes a full set of hiragana and katakana characters, with custom glyphs for characters with a dakuten and handakuten. The game itself also uses a series of complex kanji characters (particularly in the introduction). Some of those characters are also wider than the default 8 pixel tiles. These have not been included in this recreation.

Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

This is the monospaced variant, as found in the game's ROM and as used in the initial character name entry screens. In game, the font is then used proportionally - this will be provided as a separate font recreation.

Finally done. Phew! It took two days to make this. This is a full collection of 5×7 Dot Matrix characters as seen on many devices, like Texas Instruments calculators. A lot of these are custom. Sources include TI-83, TI-86, TI-89, Casio Monochrome Graphing Calculators, Casio fx-115ES PLUS, and the rest, I created them myself. I included fractions for those themes on Microsoft Office don't have matching "1/3" and other fractions with the "1/4", "1/2", and "3/4". The fullwidth characters are substitutes for the other characters in the regular style, such as the math "x" and "y" from Casio.

Please note that character sets like Arabic and some Math Operators are beyond 5×7 pixels. If you want to know why? Because Arabic is very big and if I put it all in 5×7 pixels, the text will look weird, won't really fit inside, and there would be no point to it. I left it as is. Roman Numerals cannot fit if you were doing the "VIII" character, for example.

Enjoy!

Glyphs: 1579

8/28/2019: Font created.
1/7/2020: Added characters in the following form: Fullwidth and Halfwidth are used for making TI-73 Explorer characters, plus actual monospace setting characters. Note that Runic, Tagalog, and Hanunoo are replaced with character variants. The last variation of a character is from Minecraft's font. The fractions are also changed to level the line spacing. The wide "M" is never ever for use on Monospacing.
1/8/2020: More variations are added, extended to replace Buhid. I also added other math symbols and more. To type x̄, press unicode shortcut and type 01b2. To type ȳ, press unicode shortcut and type 01b3. I also added over a hundred, or two hundred, more characters to stock up on the font. Oh and I changed the filters to separate the pixels for a more pixel and retro look. Also fixed the spacing on the "Щ" character.

9/8/2020: Added a bunch of more characters to the font set.

Note that this font is work in progress so you will recieve updates here.

Recreation of an unused (?) pixel font found in the ROM for Konami's "Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance" (2002) and "Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow" (2003) on the Nintendo Game Boy Advance.

This font includes a full set of katakana characters. In the tile set, the dakuten and handakuten are separate tiles, likely positioned after the character they relate to. In this recreation, these characters are pre-combined into a single (16px wide) glyph.

Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Recreation of the pixel font from the japanese release of Nintendo's "Zelda no Densetsu: Yume o Miru Shima" (aka "The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening", 1993) on the Game Boy.

This font includes a full set of hiragana and katakana characters. In the game's tileset, the dakuten and handakuten are separate tiles, positioned in the line above the character they relate to. In this recreation, these characters are pre-combined into a single glyph.

Note that in the original, the "?" and "!" feature very subtle antialiasing. This has been "flattened" for this recreation.

Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Recreation of the primary pixel font from Nintendo's "Metroid II: Return of Samus" (1991) on the Nintendo Game Boy. Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Recreation of the primary pixel font from Konami's "Kid Dracula" (aka "Akumajō Supesharu: Boku Dorakyura-kun", 1993) on the Nintendo Game Boy. Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Another free 5x5 pixel font for game developers. This one has a vaguely authoritarian quality thanks to the hard 90° angles.

Looks like a Game Boy font to me!

A font I designed around 2016 for a DSRPG prototype on the Game Boy Advance.

Recreation of the pixel font from Nintendo's "The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening" (1993) on the Game Boy.

This recreation includes the special/accented characters from the french and german releases of the game. In game, the characters with a diaeresis use an additional tile above them - in this recreation, the characters have been combined properly (and as a result, the height of the font overall is greater than 8px).

As an aside, this font was also used for the fan translation of "For frog the bell tolls" (aka "カエルの為に鐘は鳴る" / "Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru", 1992/2011).

Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Decided to make an account here and give this font maker a shot...

Now supports Greek and Cyrilic

One of the many fonts used in "Hammerin' Harry: Ghost Building Company" by Irem for the Game Boy. This one can be seen on the title screen.

None of the fonts used in the game seem to have been completed. Analysis with VBA's Tile Viewer reveals only the glyphs needed to spell out what little text exists. In particular this font has only the glyphs "BCDEILMNORSTY139©". Thus, I took it upon myself to make the font more complete.

I did not add lowercase, since it's impossible to tell what style it would have been drawn in. EVERY font in the game is in uppercase... though some of the others do have small caps for "lowercase".

Recreation of a font from "Proxima", a 2000 public-domain homebrew SHMUP game by Alan Obee for Game Boy Color. This font is used on the title screen and high-score screens (though the high-score version is built of tiles and looks much more detailed).

.#$!? are inventions - not present in the original font, but useful nonetheless.

Font based off of the text of Dragon Warrior I and II for the GBC. I belive it is also used in the two Dragon Warrior Monsters games.

Recreation of the pixel font from Capcom's "Gargoyle's Quest: Ghosts 'n Goblins" (1990) on the Nintendo Game Boy. Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Font based on the font in Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal.

Existing characters are the same as in the game while I tried to fill in for some common characters that are missing.

Some notes:

Pk, Mn, and :L replace ¼, ½, and ¾, respectively.

Korean font's punctuation/Arabic numerals are contained within Fullwidth forms.

Also, I guess Fontstruct doesn't support precomposed Hangul characters, so I'm out of luck there. The full-size individual Hangul letters are in Hangul Jamo, while the smaller ones (like on the name entry screen) are in halfwidth forms.

Halfwidth katakana is the same as fullwidth, but fullwidth Latin is different.

Halfwidth versions of the won/yen symbols are the currency symbol, while the fullwidth version is the language's character for it.

Unown letters are contained within the letters in circled capital letters section of Enclosed Alphanumerics.

Some ligatures ('s, d', etc.) are found within the lowercase parentheses and circled letters of Enclosed Alphanumerics.
