Cursive font by Berkeley Softworks (17 point). Appeared in GEOS FontPack PLUS. Failing to find a TrueType equivalent - couldn't find the right glyphs, especially the 'r' - I've created this version. Only characters are standard ASCII set. Some kerning needs work, but out of the box you'll get joined letters and running script.
Orient, from The Print Shop Companion for the Commodore 64 by Broderbund Software.
I never got to use Orient - my copy of PS Companion had two bad files, the fonts Orient and Deco (which were my two favourites from the samples in the manual! Go figure). Whilst many Asian-style fonts exist, they weren't as wide as this one. Orient is much more... inelegant.
Characters are all that were in Print Shop... if anything I should fix the pairs kerning.
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 :)
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.)
Boalt from GEOS FontPack 1 on the Commodore 64.
Apparently Boalt was so popular that it was included in FontPack PLUS too. Personally, I didn't care much for Boalt. It's heavy, wide, big serifs - not my kind of thing. But without much else to create, and wanting to keep in the Fontstruct game, here it is. Rescuing these fonts from obscurity is the main prize!
Unkerned, and no extra characters other than what the original had.
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!
Block font from The Print Shop by Broderbund Software.
Using VICE, I used Print Shop's Screen Magic option with every character in the set to generate a screen dump. I like Block because it's got the Western feel but isn't as condensed as Playbill.
Recreation of the pixel font from Codemasters' "Rockstar Ate My Hamster" (1988). Slightly expanded with a few additional custom characters not present in the original game.
Edited (11/2016) to fix some of the characters, based on a more accurate source (C64 emulation of the game) and to include the "BLACK LARGE SQUARE" (U+2B1B) unicode character.
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.
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...
University font from GEOS for the Commodore 64. This was one of the default fonts included with GEOS and GeoWrite. I think it's based on one of Susan Kare's Mac fonts, can't remember which one. Elegant and may even work its way back into regular use for me...
Lewis from GEOS FontPack PLUS for the Commodore 64.
Another Old West font... normally I don't care much for them, I never warmed to Playbill. Lewis feels like it's got a bit more space - almost a cross between Playbill and Italian Print.
Stern from GEOS FontPack PLUS on the Commodore 64. Script font with joins. I haven't done more than basic kerning on this so it may be a bit "rough" in places. Still, it's the full basic ASCII set, and it's easier to read than Mistral.
