Font used in 10th Frame (and the Leaderboard Golf series) for the Commodore 64 by Access Software. I used 10th Frame's smaller lettering for lower case, and the box score numbers for an alternate set of digits (use Shift 1-8, [ and ] for these). The letters used shading (grey pixels next to the black ones) so I've tried to mock that.

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.

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.
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.
Flints is a font from GEOS FontPack PLUS on the Commodore 64.
Odd backward-leaning characters. Kerning not quite right in places, any suggestions welcome. I deliberate made the spacing 1 pixel looser than default, to try and match the original's feel.
Well, it's been a while, work has ramped up during this school term. I never complain about that though. I'd rather be busy with work I'm comfortable doing. But I digress.
This font is Spruce, as seen in GEOS FontPack PLUS on the Commodore 64. Not sure whether you'd call this stencilled or segmented. It's got an odd set of descenders, and I've corrected some glyps so they're symmetrical top and bottom, even if that gives them ascenders. This may not spruce up your font collection as such (groan)...
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.
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...
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.
Spats, based on the original from GEOS FontPack PLUS on Commodore 64 by Berkeley Softworks.
This one took me a lot longer than usual. Rather than just a straight pixel rendering, I used Fontstruct's diagonal blocks to make smoother glyphs. What we have is a balance between the original's square letterforms and a modern take on the diagonal stripes.
The glyphs included are only what was in the original. If it proves popular enough I'll do some more glyphs.
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.
