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!
Wizard, platform game for the Commodore 64. This font replicates its pixelled medieval character set at its usual size. After first doing a monospaced version, cloned it to make a proportional font and have tried to set reasonable kerning of character pairs. Some redefined characters in the game also appear here...
This is a cloneWizard of Wor. I noticed it had an interesting double-height font on the Commodore 64, where letters are combinations of a top and bottom half. I've fudged things a bit to fill the bog-standard ASCII set.
I've added the six character sprites, facing left and right. Here's how to generate them.
Burwor: Alt-0161 and Alt-0171
Garwor: Alt-0162 and Alt-0172
Thorwor: Alt-0163 and Alt-0173
Worrior (Player): Alt-0164 and Alt-0174
Worluk: Alt-0165 and Alt-0175
Wizard of Wor: Alt-0166 and Alt-0176
Alternate character set (to standard CBM) from Rolf Harris' Picture Builder. Given Rolf's incarceration for sex offences, I chose to name the font "Wobble Board" after the musical instrument he devised in 1959.
Lower case is pixeled, upper case is me experimenting with the blocks (first time I've used block-stacking). This character set didn't use punctuation, it was designed for building pictures character by character; I've preserved a couple of the graphic characters, but also imagined a few glyphs based on the thick lettering style. I like the look of these thick letters with proportional spacing so that's what we have.
The hash symbol (#) can be used to build a brick wall.
I found a font rip from "Footballer of the Year" and the upper case letters were identical to Gauntlet, so I took the lower case ones and added them. Have called it "Gauntlet Potion" as "Gauntlet Deeper Dungeons" was too long. I don't really care for the lower case letters that much... it's here if anyone wants it for variety.
This is a clone of GauntletStern 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.
A 8x8 monospaced Pixel Font with double-wide horizontal Pixels to fit in a C64 Koala Painter Image with only 160x200 Resolution in Multicolor Mode. You can paint a 320x200 image, draw the text on it and convert it to C64 Koala Format using Project One without distortions (hint: use font size 8px and Height: 85% in Photoshop).
It was very hard to make the chars with so few pixels that some characters didn't make sense to create. The font fits perfectly in the 8x8 color matrix of the C64, too.

This is a clone of C64 Multicolor MonoRecreation 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.
