DINOBYTE bitmap font
A downloadable bitmap font
A BITMAP FONT FOR TEXT-MODE RETROFOSSILS
- 16x16 glyph PNG with 6x8 pixel glyphs
- Windows bitmap .FON version (only standard ASCII range works correctly since the extended range isn't ISO/Unicode compatible but the file contains all the glyphs)
- implements codepage 437, also known as Extended ASCII
- works out-of-the-box as a Dwarf Fortress Classic font
Since I personally love DOS-style 'fake-GUIs' that use extended ASCII glyphs, I wanted to create a bitmap font that includes all the glyphs of the extended ASCII range and makes nice looking borders, I'm currently using this for a project so I thought I'd share it here. I imagine it can be great for pure-ASCII roguelikes maybe.

Very nice font! I’m adding this to my stock set of fonts in SadConsole my Ascii game engine. I’ve added a readme text with attribution and a link here. The only thing I needed to modify was changing the foreground to white.
This won’t be uploaded to my GitHub until the next release, though. Here’s a screenshot of me testing the font in my demo app.
Very nice retro look. Thank you.
Well done! Thank you!
