Description
BugNaga (aka Bugsuke) started developing bitmap fonts for X680x0 around 1996 and gradually refined them. This collection has now been made available for Windows, macOS, and other platforms.
The overall style is rounded, and special care was taken to make programming-friendly distinctions between characters such as 0 (zero) and O (capital O).
The 16×16 pixel Kanji characters are based on Keitaro Hiraki’s “Akihabara 16” font, with modifications and additions.
This package contains three types of fonts, each including 8×8, 12×12, and 16×16 pixel sizes (other sizes will be scaled automatically).
