====================================
[1.7d] Still working on CJK and Hangul. Still not even halfway there!!!
[beta 1.7c] More CJK, Aboriginal Canadian Syllabics, Bengali
[beta 1.7b] More CJK but still not nearly enough
[beta 1.7a] I found a stray pixel which stretched the font two pixels too high. It's gone now.
[beta 1.7] ??? stuff? korean jamo, like 0.3% more of the CJK, Greek Extended, and one of the East Asian scripts (the name I forgot :<)
[beta 1.6d] assorted CJK and symbols
[beta 1.6c] devanagari (hindi script), thai
[beta 1.6b] thai and other junks. some characters improved
The Unicode bitmap font from Minecraft, also known as GNU Unifont. The game has a font priority system called "providers" that looks for bitmap data for a specific character in the non-Latin European character set first, then in the accented Latin character set, then in the game's low-res default font, then finally here, in the high-res Unicode character set. You can override this priority system by going into Options... > Language..., then setting "Force Unicode Font" to ON.
The game stores this font in images containing 16 rows and 16 columns of characters. Each character is 16 pixels wide and 16 pixels tall, totalling 256 characters per image. Each image represents one Unicode codepage, and there are 256 pages, which covers characters U+0000 to U+FFFF. Control characters and most CJK characters are omitted here, because FontStruct doesn't officially support them.
The font is not monospace, however, so the effective widths of each character are stored in a separate file called glyph_sizes.bin. Information for each character is stored in one byte, and the upper and lower 4 bits of this byte represent the start column and end column with a number ranging from 0 to 15, where 0 is the leftmost column of the character's allotted 16x16 space, and 15 is the rightmost column, respectively.
Knowing all of this allowed me to automate most of the steps involved in creating this recreation. I did not use the FontStructor to make this, I instead used a program to directly interact with FontStruct's API. It is possible to add unsupported characters to a font with this method, but I chose to stay within the limits of what is officially supported.
In honor of the begining of the end of FBI Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into the orange president's collusion with Russians and the successive obstruction of justice, as US Attornet General William Barr releases a highly redacted public version of the Mueller Report, as well as a lighter redacted version to congress on this Thursday, April 18th, 2019, I am releasing this font, "REDACTED" which offers monospaced support (so that individuals can't guess on letters based on character width) for most all Latin characters as well as support for other languages.
Now you can redact hardcopies of electronic documents, too.
Note: Only the printed paper documents are redacted. In fact, I was so amused that someone had unredacted an electronic document by selecting and choosing another font, that it inspired me to do this font.
Specials letterset contains: TOP SECRET | CONFIDENTIAL | YOUR EYES ONLY etc... which can only be seen if the character which contains each phrase is alone on a line, or the last on a line and has room to display before running off the page. Because this is a monospaced font, these phrases are much larger the character width. In fact, each of these phrases starts out with one width blank space so that you have to know where to find them because a normal character picker won't display them.
REDACTED is at Unicode FFF8
TOP SECRET is at Unicode FFF9
CONFIDENTIAL is at Unicode FFFA
YOUR EYES ONLY is at Unicode FFFB
OFFICIAL US BUSINESS is at Unicode FFFC
To Do...
FOR PUBLIC RELEASE is at Unicode FFF?

Clone of 9x9 Strict. This font was originally made on my alternate account (winty5alt), but I don't plan on using that account anymore unless I have a problem logging on to this one.
Anyway, this font is a 9x9 strict pan-unicode font, great for LCD displays & stuff. Hope you enjoy! :)

Will release the first open-source variation for everyone to expirement at 4000 glyphs.
A monospaced version of Barcade Brawl that has been modified to work well as a roguelike font. Not every glyph is centered yet, but all the Basic Latin and More Latin ones are.
A few glyphs (such as #) are modified to break the matrix so that they link together. This is because these glyphs are used to form continuous walls and other structures.
Note also that this design uses a 7x7px matrix which is monospaced at 8px to create 8x7 tiles. I have placed a stray pixel on an unused glyph to make 1px of extra line spacing occur so that the final tiles are 8x8. The preview here onsite adds another px, so it looks slightly out of square. The sample below does too, because it was made before this fix was implemented.
I was working on another spinoff of this that was high-resolution rather than pixel, but since this font has the same LC and UC, I might transplant those glyphs to this font as well to make it as multifunctional as possible. That will more than double the work of making an already big font, though, so it will depend on whether this font gets used by others. A few game developers already use the original "Barcade Brawl" so there is a possibility...

This is a clone of Barcade BrawlFont from the ingame marquee display of Barcade Brawl, a 2015 game by yours truly. This was made to look similar to the system fonts from old arcade boards, PC microsystems, etc. You've probably seen the fonts I'm talking about; they're everywhere and many people refer to them singularly as "the arcade font" or "the NES font".
This is 7x7 with no wasted matrix, but it looks better without monospacing since not every glyph is the same width. It also makes a decent terminal & chat font, at least for those who don't care about the case of the messages they read and write.
Feel free to use this in your games, etc.!

This font is completely free to use in any project.
The aesthetic of this font is part inspired by my own handwriting, and part just wanting to make the smallest font I could. Standard height is 8p.
Unicode Tables: Basic Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, Latin Extended A (mostly), Greek & Coptic, General Punctuation, Superscripts & Subscripts (mostly), Currency Symbols (mostly), Mathematical Operators (mostly), Block Elements, Geometric Shapes, Katakana, and Fullwidth Forms.

The 5x5 pixel font used for the Virtual Gremlin, an old emulator/game I wrote. The standard font for ingame text.
This font was also designed to work well with IRC clients and ASCII games (see sample).
Breaking the 5x5 grid was unfortunate but necessary in order to make legible characters in non-Latin languages.
Basically a light version of zephram’s Madufaros Mini. Not really faithful—some glyphs easily stray from their Madufaros’ ancestors.
Support for Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, General Punctuation, Greek, Cyrillic, Runic, Ogham and partially IPA.
I will probably revisit this once in a while, since I’m still not satisfied with some characters.
This is a clone of Madufaros MiniVersion 1.5: All permutations of E and F were refined and improved.

A modernized, rounded, and truncated version of Marengi. This is made to be a good text editor/chat font. It has very few kerning pairs, so it should render fine in any software.
Ascenders are only allowed to be as tall as the uppercase/numerals, while descenders are allowed to go 2px below the line. This creates a natural line spacing that is readable and not too dense. (Diacritics break this rule, of course... darn them...)
Gone are the curved descenders/termini on letters like gjty. The simpler geometry makes this design more suited to speedreading than its predecessor. In fact, altering those four letters alone improves speedreading on this font by up to 14%!

09JUN2019: I have been using this as my main IRC/chat font for some time now. Of all my chatfont designs, this has proven the easiest to read and use.

After having finished creating Pixelbabania VI, I thought to myself, why not make a version of this font, but with the height restricion removed for those who don't like having foreign characters squished up?
Even added Japanese Katana and Hiragana characters into the mix.
27/4/22 - Came across two glyphs that needed a bit of fixing, the registered sign, which was a width over, and Single Low-9 Quotation Mark, which needed to be moved a pixel down.
