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 7x12Based 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.

This is a clone of WOPR TweakedA recreation of the font used on the early CRT terminals from IBM, based on this source by Marcin Wichary.
I find there is a particular charm in the crudeness of some solutions compared to subsequent iterations or other 5x7 pixel fonts (see, for example, the numerals and |C|U|Y|).
I reproduced only the characters shown in the aforelinked image, placing them in what I considered to be the appropriate Unicode place.
I tried to look for some more glyphs (comma anyone?) but failed to find reliable sources.
A simple 7×5 pixel font (original grid: 8×6). This was the font that was used in some versions of MacOS's Terminal font, some calculators and a few cash machine output screens.
You can use this as your own Terminal/coding font or other purposes.
Narrowed version of Bytogryph code. More suitable for coding.
This is a clone of Bytogryph CodePixel aspect: 4:5 (1:1.25)
Found in some Acer, Hewlett-Packard, and Lenovo laptops that use an InsydeH2O BIOS.
It's very hard to find to find a replica of this font, so I decided to be one of the first to make this font.
07 OCT 2023: Added support for box drawing characters.
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.
Painstakingly redone from movie screenshots.

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?

Private use characters are encoded in Variation Selectors and Latin Ext. D.

Trying to achieve maximum readability and symbol differentiation within a reasonable size.
This is a clone of CatseyeCode7x15R"Xwin" because it's themed around the X Window System's 6x13 font.
This is a clone of 6x13 reduxA compressed, squareish microfont. 4x4, monospaced, no wasted matrix.
I like how this one uses all the space it occupies. Glyphs like ijl1 fill out the words they're in rather than creating voids. Also, i looks kind of like a lit candlestick, and I like that.

A trimmed-down version of Byblos Unicase! It has a distinctive "constantly underscored" look.

This is a clone of Byblos UnicaseA font with a vague "selected text", "telegraphed message" or "hacker terminal" feeling about it. Seems like something that would be in a video game or creepypasta...

A font made to reskin a particular roguelike game. This is made to look cold and slightly insidious. I accomplished this by using a 6x6 grid which, apart from being a slightly odd size, gives the forms asymmetry and makes their enclosed parts look as if they're squinting or sneering. Best seen on letters like ABKPRVY.
Monospacing helps give the whole thing regularity and reinforces the clinical/overly-serious feeling.
The game this is made for has very few ASCII glyphs. But, I will expand this to support all ASCII characters soon. I know many games (CDDA, DCSS, DF) support new tilesets so maybe I'll optimize this for those kinds of games...

Experimental 12-segment display. This is my attempt at making an ultra-small segmented display suitable for printing on actual pixel art screens. As far as I know, this is the first fusion of Latin-style microfont and segmented display.
Initially I tried making this with 3px long segments, but the result looked almost exactly like Calculatrix 12. So I shrank it down to 5x5 to ensure it would take on its own look.
Of course, your pixel art style still needs to be a pretty big one for this font to work well - I recommend a display area of 82*7px or more.

Joketext font from ESOSLite. This is very similar to the original ESOS Lite Terminal, but turned 90 degrees counterclockwise.
This text prints in one or two ways: either as it displays here on-site or in a RTL columnar format where the body of text is rotated back 90 degrees clockwise. The latter is usually used for jokes about weeaboos; I play 100% Orange Juice and watch Katekyō Hitman Reborn! so I pretty much am one.
A minimalist Gemscript (or a corrupted one, depending on who you ask).
It has no relation to Pigpen Cipher, although a few glyphs do look like they're from that cipher. Feel free to use this fact to throw amateur cryptographers off for amusement.
Original size: 3.75pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)
