IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS FONT IS NO LONGER BEING WORKED ON. I HAVE A BIGGER FONT TO WORK ON FOR THE TIME BEING.
YOU ARE FREE TO CLONE AND FINISH THIS FONT IF YOU WANT.
Finally done. Phew! It took two days to make this. This is a full collection of 5×7 Dot Matrix characters as seen on many devices, like Texas Instruments calculators. A lot of these are custom. Sources include TI-83, TI-86, TI-89, Casio Monochrome Graphing Calculators, Casio fx-115ES PLUS, and the rest, I created them myself. I included fractions for those themes on Microsoft Office don't have matching "1/3" and other fractions with the "1/4", "1/2", and "3/4". The fullwidth characters are substitutes for the other characters in the regular style, such as the math "x" and "y" from Casio.
Please note that character sets like Arabic and some Math Operators are beyond 5×7 pixels. If you want to know why? Because Arabic is very big and if I put it all in 5×7 pixels, the text will look weird, won't really fit inside, and there would be no point to it. I left it as is. Roman Numerals cannot fit if you were doing the "VIII" character, for example.
Enjoy!
8/28/2019: Font created.
1/7/2020: Added characters in the following form: Fullwidth and Halfwidth are used for making TI-73 Explorer characters, plus actual monospace setting characters. Note that Runic, Tagalog, and Hanunoo are replaced with character variants. The last variation of a character is from Minecraft's font. The fractions are also changed to level the line spacing. The wide "M" is never ever for use on Monospacing.
1/8/2020: More variations are added, extended to replace Buhid. I also added other math symbols and more. To type x̄, press unicode shortcut and type 01b2. To type ȳ, press unicode shortcut and type 01b3. I also added over a hundred, or two hundred, more characters to stock up on the font. Oh and I changed the filters to separate the pixels for a more pixel and retro look. Also fixed the spacing on the "Щ" character.
9/8/2020: Added a bunch of more characters to the font set.
8/25/2023: fixed the license so that the download works now.
It's been a year since I've created "Fixedsys 2 Monospaced." It's the most downloaded font on my account, with more than 500 downloads.
To celebrate these achievements, allow me to introduce the new Fixedsys--reFixedsys.
Directly re-created from the image in the Wikipedia page, it'll be the best Fixedsys font you'll ever see and use. Enjoy.

Based off of a brief feature from Tech Time Traveller's The Computer Thing From Hell.
Expanded for multilingual support. Original designer of the font is Motorola.
Make sure to download as a TTF if you want pixel perfection!
Version of Homebrew 7x12 with letters d, g, and q changed to have the same ball top half as a.
CS is short for "consolidate".

This is a clone of Homebrew 7x12A pixel perfect recreation of the PDP-11 terminal font, including Cyrillic characters from the Elektronica 60 in case you want to recreate the original Tetris ;) Note that the Terminal stretches the font vertically by 200%
This is a cloneIf you like this font, please consider checking out ReFixedsys Mono and Refixedsys Sans as well, which are my better attempts at recreating the Fixedsys font. They also have more glyphs for other languages.
----------------------------------
This time with More Latin characters! Fixed height issues as well.
Also used as dialogue text in Undertale and Deltarune.

This is a clone of Fixedsys MonospacedOcelot - A monospaced sans-serif font with no curves!
a font inspired by terminals and OOBE. some characters are sans-serif, some are serif... this is basically a semi-serif font. this font has no inspiration. when i say that, i mean that this font is not used in any terminals and OOBEs. i just thought of this style.
Global spacing version of Terminal 1.

The ^ caret character is an upward pointing arrow, and is shown in the movie. This is correct based on the old ASCII-1963 standard, where ^ and _ were an upward and leftward pointing arrow, respectively.
I don't believe this font actually matches any specific contemporary terminal from the mid 70s to early 80s, I believe it was done custom for the movie. It is clearly inspired by the character set from several terminals.
One notable feature of the font (shared with several CRT terminals in the 1970s and 1980s) is that no more than 8 adjacent vertical rows within the 7*x10 character cell can be active at any given point. The 'block cursor' violates this, but the circuitry to display that was separate from the circuitry to read the character ROM and shift it vertically.
* Technically the character is 8 pixels wide, but if the 8th/leftmost pixel is set, it will apparently also appear as the rightmost '9th' pixel in the inter-character column, which is undesirable.This can be seen in the custom character set in the movie used for the country outlines during the "UNITED STATES" "SOVIET UNION" "WHICH SIDE DO YOU WANT?" scene. (Either that, or this was an accidental error during creation of those custom characters for the movie.)
The movie also often uses an "overline" character in order to underline the row above, and this occupies an entire row of characters on screen when this happens. Is this the true 'shape' of the underline character?
