Font used for the credits, copy protection screen, help menu, and restore game screen for Fire Hawk: Thexder - The Second Contact, (C) 1989, 1990 Game Arts Co, Ltd / (C) 1990 Sierra On-Line, Inc.  (The DOS start-up screen also states that this game is alternately titled 'Thexder II Firehawk'.)  As with many Japanese games, the period (.) is set above the baseline; it has been lowered here, but the original can be found in the More Latin section.  The Block character is located in the @ position.

Font used for the start menu, in-game menus, character interactions, and on-screen displays for Fire Hawk: Thexder - The Second Contact, (C) 1989, 1990 Game Arts Co, Ltd / (C) 1990 Sierra On-Line, Inc.  (The DOS start-up screen also states that this game is alternately titled as 'Thexder II Firehawk'.)  Letter J* and modified B N P by Goatmeal.  Original B N P found in the More Latin area, along with the 'digital counter' numerals as a bonus.  The Block character is located in the @ position.

* Oddly enough, I couldn't find the letter J used anywhere during my playthough...

Font used for the copy protection and in-game text for Silpheed Super Dogfighter, (C) 1986, 1988 Game Arts Co, Ltd / (C) 1988 Sierra On-Line, Inc.  Numerals 3 4 6 7 8 9 by Goatmeal; the only numbers used for bonus value displays in-game are 0 1 2 5.  The Block character is located in the @ position.

Monospaced version of the text font used for the introduction, character interactions, and finale of Zeliard, (C) 1987, 1990 Game Arts Co, Ltd / (C) 1990 Sierra On-Line, Inc.  Modified q by Goatmeal; the original q is found in the More Latin area.

Proportional version of the text font used for the credits and saved game/restore menu of Zeliard, (C) 1987, 1990 Game Arts Co, Ltd / (C) 1990 Sierra On-Line, Inc.  Modified q by Goatmeal; the original q is found in the More Latin area.

In the game, the spacing/kerning between various letter and/or punctuation combinations is highly variable, anywhere from 2-6 pixels.  To strike a balance, a standard three-pixel width was chosen for letters and most punctuation; the remaing punctuation glyphs have a 6-pixel width, while the numbers retain their 2-pixel width.

Clone of Dot24Pin Sans Outline.

Still dreaming of 24-pin printers...

This original 24×15 typeface is designed around the limitations presented by the near letter quality (NLQ) output of dot matrix printers (DMPs) during the '80s & '90s.  Partially inspired by J. David Sapir's DOS font design program, LQMATRIX, it could have easily been created using that program back in the day.

(The "smart phone"-looking character in the À position is simply a placeholder, used as a quick reference to set vertical height lines while FontStructing.)

Smooth version of the in-game dialogue font from Space Quest 6: Roger Wilco In The Spinal Frontier, (C) 1995 Sierra On-Line.

Includes the Positive and Negative Post symbols and Sierra logo; modified / (to match \) and characters % $ [ | ] ~ by Goatmeal. Original / found in the More Latin area. Modified from the original Sierra Resource File Tags: "70.fon" & "71.fon"

Please note that during the "smoothing process" (from pixel to "bezier"), some liberties were taken with certain glyph designs.

Initials used with the non-speech text in King's Quest V: Absence Makes The Heart Go Yonder!, (C) 1990 Sierra On-Line.  These letters were not generated using an in-game font; they were actually pre-rendered static images within the game's art assets, used in conjunction with the Sierra text font Font.004.  While the letters were centered within the 16x15 sprites, the I and J were changed to proportional spacing for use with other fonts.

To match the two-tone sprites used in the game, this version allows the user to overlay a partial letter or letters in a different color for use in games or picture/image artwork.

Solid outline font used in King's Quest V: Absence Makes The Heart Go Yonder!, (C) 1990 Sierra On-Line.  Sierra Resource File Tag: "font.009" and is paired with the Sierra font "font.008".

This font was used for onle single phrase in the game: "A few hours later....." (occurring twice in the floppy disk version, but only once in the CD-ROM version).  Oddly enough, instead of using the outline font.009, the opening credits used the font.008 twice for a 'drop-shadow' effect...

And while they may have been intentional choices, there are several instances where the outline designs don't follow the patterns found with the majority of other glyphs (missing pixels, perhaps for legibility?). As such, the following characters:

• J O P Q R S X c j m n p q r s u v z ! ;

...have all been 'corrected' within the main set of glyphs; their original designs can be found in the More Latin section.

Font used in King's Quest V: Absence Makes The Heart Go Yonder!, (C) 1990 Sierra On-Line.   Sierra Resource File Tag: "font.008" and is paired with the solid outline version of this font, "font.009".

The font was used for the opening credits and for a single phrase during gameplay:

• Instead of using the solid outline version font.009 for the opening credits, a drop-shadow effect was employed (recreated here in my new sample).

• It was used later in the game WITH the solid outline version font.009 for one single phrase: "A few hours later....." (occurring twice in the floppy disk version, but only once in the CD-ROM version).

Main text font for numerous Sierra SCI games.  The version from Space Quest I VGA includes several copy protection symbols and the Roman numeral I.  The version from Space Quest IV includes Roman numerals IV and XII, plus a horizontal ™.  These glyphs are located in the More Latin area.  Circumflex Accent ^ by Goatmeal.  Sierra Resource File Tags: "font.004" ; "4.fon" ; "1107.fon" ; "1207.fon"

Please note that "font.004" in the early Hoyle games contain a bold variant of this font.

Font used on the LINC terminal screens, inside LINC-Space, and for player-named saved games in the DOS version of Beneath A Steel Sky, (C) 1994 Revolution Software.

Oddities found within this font's design:

• The j is missing its tittle (corrected here)

• The stem of the k is 1 pixel shy of the full cap height (corrected here)

• There is an extra pixel width of space after the i, the lowercase L (l), the period (.), the colon (:), and the apostrophe ('), likely for increased legibility (retained here)

• The apostrophe (') is one pixel higher than the cap height (retained here)

There are also a few design differences between the glyphs for the player's saved games versus the font used for interacting with LINC (above):

• The saved game capital i (I) and number one (1) both have the same design, which is the same as the LINC lowercase L (l) above

• The saved game lowecase L (l) is actually 1 pixel taller than the cap height

• The saved game exclamation point (!) is 1 pixel shorter than the cap height

The original design oddities and the saved game variants are found in the More Latin section.

Clone of Beneath A Steel Sky.  Inset for the main text font used in the DOS version of Beneath A Steel Sky, (C) 1994 Revolution Software.

While Damien Guard (DamienG) couldn't find the numerals 3 5 6 and 8 (see the comments section for his 2017 FontStruction "BeneathASteelSky"), I was able to find at least two instances where the number 3 was used; however, I couldn't find a 7.  So, to complete the set of numerals, I'm using his designs for 5 6 7 and 8 (which fit the aesthetics of the other numbers).  Thanks, Damien!

Clone of Sierra Font 501 fon. Smooth version of another favorite computer RPG: Old English font from Betrayal In Antara, (C) 1997 Sierra On-Line. Sierra Resource File Tags: "8.fon" ; "501.fon" ; "4210.fon". Kerning is from "501.fon", which appears to be only found in Betrayal In Antara. Numerals (except 3 & 8) are from "4210.fon", found in Torin's Passage, (C) 1995 Sierra On-Line. Numerals 3 & 8 are designed by Goatmeal.

Font used in the menu screens, Kyle Katarn's PDA, and subtitles from Star Wars: Dark Forces, (C) 1995 LucasArts.

While there have been at least 2 previous recreations of this design (Peter 'The Hutt' Klassen's "DFFonts 1.5" FON fonts and James 'Burning Gundam' Milne's "Katarns PDF"(sic) TTF font) -- as well as a FontStruction from 2008 (Magic_Al's "Rebel Agent PDA Classic," based on Klassen's FON fonts) -- this is a wholly original version based on recent screencaptures and an FNT export.

The PDA / menu font used in the game isn't generated from a file within the game's resources; they are actually pre-rendered static images in the game's art assets. As a result, the spacing between words and after punctuation is highly variable in these pictures.  Most of the spaces appear to be either 3 or 4 pixels wide (or combinations thereof for doublespaces); the width of 3 pixels was chosen in this font because 3-pixel spaces occur more frequently in the images than 4-pixel spaces do.

(And in a pre-rendered video cutscene used for Jabba the Hutt's speech subtitles, the spacing widths of the PDA font vary anywhere from 3 to 6(!) pixels.)

The numerals 1–3 used in the PDA screens were also located in an FNT font file containing 0–9.  They are used with the game's mapping system, along with a 'standard' S for maps containing 'sub-levels' (which I have placed in the $ position).  So, the numerals are now finally screen accurate for the first time in any version.  While the apostrophe (') was reversed in-game, it has been corrected here; the original apostrophe can be found in the grave accent (`) position.  The mission task's bullet point (a hollow circle) is located in the @ position.

The exclamation point (!) is found only once, in a single line of Jabba's subtitles (previously mentioned above).  However, the dot of the ! dips _below_ the baseline in the video.  I have corrected it to rest upon the baseline, matching the other punctuation; for sake of completeness, I've included the original 'lower-dotted' version in the More Latin section.

Typeface based on Pet Shop Boys' album "Nightlife," their single "New York City Boy," and their "Montage" concert tour (1999–2000).  While a fan TTF was made by Footnote Fonts in 1999 (as well as a couple of, um, 'unofficial variants' of that design by other folks over the next two years), almost 21 years later here is MY take on it in FontStruct.  The following letters are taken from existing artwork: A B C E F G H I K L M N O P R S T U W X Y; all other glyphs are by Goatmeal.  Due to the design's height restriction, I couldn't figure out a suitable $.

========================================

Update: March 01,  2022 - Numerals 0–9 taken from the tracklist number designs of the "Nightlife" Promo CD.

Clone of Alex Murphy Solid. Inspired by the RoboCop movie logos, this version is specially spaced to line up in combination with the "Alex Murphy Outline" font for graphic design purposes (Inset + Outline).  As always, for dingbats of OCP logos, see the "Alex Murphy Dings" font.

August 10, 2021 update: Font at version 2.0.  Diagonals and lowercase crossbars were thickened, and diagonals now cross into the vertical strokes. Now more movie accurate than ever!

Clone of Sierra Font 1605 fon.  Bold version of the text font from "Space Quest V: Roger Wilco - The Next Mutation", (C) 1993 Dynamix / Sierra.  Because (1.) Sierra fonts were aligned along the Cap Height instead of the Baseline, and (2.) this game often used the regular font (1605) and the lowercase bold (5220) within in the same lines of text, this font replicates the same alignment.  Modified L S W l and s by Goatmeal; originals located in the More Latin area.  Sierra Resource File Tag: "5220.fon"

Text font from "Space Quest V: Roger Wilco - The Next Mutation", (C) 1993 Dynamix / Sierra.  Sierra Resource File Tag: "1605.fon"

Lock Chest font from Betrayal At Krondor, (C) 1993 Dynamix / Sierra On-Line. Bitmap typeface of the Human translation of the Moredhel Lock Chests found throughout the greatest computer RPG of all time, "Betrayal At Krondor".

Capitals taken from the Tumblers and Hints.  Lowercase and Punctuation taken from the Hints. Numerals are taken from the Cheat Chest Tumblers (Alt + Rt. Shift + ~ on the overhead map screen).

Revisiting a font I made over 10 years ago as a request: A solid version of the large font used in numerous Atari video arcade games, 1984-1987.  By removing the three-colored font-smoothing effect, the typeface definitely loses its elegance; some glyphs (especially the #) are reduced to mere "blobs" of pixels.  Hopefully the requester finds some use for it.  Best below 20 pt.
