Etcheverry, a font from GEOS. Named after Etcheverry Hall, UC Berkeley College of Engineering.
The upper case characters look like Glaser Stencil, but that was produced by URW++ in 1994. Etcheverry was produced and included in GEOS' FontPack PLUS in 1987-88. I wonder if they're both based on an older font? I created this copy of Etcheverry because I wanted lower case characters, which Glaster Stencil doesn't have.
Galacto Honoris!
This font appeared in Cosmic Cruiser by Imagine Software on the Commodore 64. It hasn't got much in the way of glyphs - I'm going to progressively work on this.
Have tried making the capitals more curvy to match some of the original game's intent (a rotating space station featured heavily) but it fell down on the A, D, K, V and Y (and almost the X). Big problem is trying to make a curve take up 2x2 when working in 1x1, the right core bricks don't exist. You can make a 1x1 brick based on a 2x2 design, but you can't make a 2x2 brick based on a 1x1 design.
Latimer. Originally provided in GEOS FontPack PLUS. Not one of my favourite fonts back in the day (i.e. when I was 13) but unique enough that it warrants a FontStruction. And it seems to have brushed up pretty well. I've added extra characters so it fills out the base ASCII set.
The original had some quirks: some letters didn't touch the baseline, some uneven glyphs, some below the baseline, lowercase all sat one pixel higher etc. I've tried to correct for these. Lower case letters J, S, U, T are all as originally set, whereas upper case are all corrected.
15-minute quickie font. This is from Staff Of Karnath for the Commodore 64. Only characters in the game are presented here, except the comma which I put in so I had something with a descender (and thus some space between lines).
UPDATE 01 Jun 2018.
Turns out the same character set appeared in Blackwyche! I've added a few graphics from that game to various characters. Try entering [{|}] and see what you get! Also added the pentagram from Staff Of Karnath to the asterisk... that took MUCH more than 15 minutes, having to do a stack of composite bricks...
One of the more eccentric fonts in GEOS on the Commodore 64 was Elmwood, released in FontPack 1. This was the only font larger than 24 point, clocking in at 36. Figuring it'd be a fairly easy challenge to port over to FontStruct, here it is. (The Commodore charsets can become a bit repetitive after a while.)
Uridium by Andrew Braybrook for the Commodore 64 (and various other platforms). I've managed to interpret the graphic tiles to reproduce the letter set from the title screen, HUD, high scores etc. as a font. I thought the capitals were too wide but was my imagination (and the screen grab I took of the charset!).
Have done some cool interpretations of punctuation... and a few glyphs for you:
` for Colour
~ for Black & White
^ for Player
| for Joystick
} for Ship Remaining
{ for mystery... try it and see!
This is some random set labelled "BX_1" from Peter Kofler's web site. I don't know what game or software it's from. I just remember I made a bitmap font of this years ago with "Fony". Now it's a TrueType. Do with it as you will :)
I am proud to present FontKnox, one of the more popular fonts in GEOS on the Commodore 64. I took a bit longer with this one but it was well worth it. The font is meant to look kind of embossed and metallic, hence its original name.
As it's decorative, I've included only its original characters; I've used the bottom of the semicolon to make quotation marks.
