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.

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.

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!

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.

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"

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.

This is the font used in the game Undertale when the character sans speaks. Copied from the game's spritesheet ripped by Flusak1235 on The Spriter's Resource.

A fairly obscure video game font for you, this being the serifed font from thte 'Puyo Puyo' series of video games (if that name sounds unfamiliar, these games were reskinned in North American and released as 'Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine' and 'Kirby's Avalanche'.)

The base alphabet, numbers, and several punctuation are all authentic to the game (the inverted ? and ! are always easy to make, which is why I always include them, even if not a part of the game proper).  However, there's plenty of custom glyph work here with the punctuation and the accented lettering.

Enjoy!

Official MultiWorld² Kurrac's Cryphtography Font

Typeface used for the opening credits of Hero's Quest: So You Want To Be A Hero (EGA) & Quest For Glory: So You Want To Be A Hero (EGA), (C) 1989 Sierra On-Line.  The words and names were not generated using an in-game font; they were actually pre-rendered static images within the game's art assets.  Letters Q & Z created by Goatmeal.

Because the flourishes/sparkles present in the center of several letters could not be recreated effectively in FontStruct, they are NOT included in this font recreation.
