Okay, finally getting down to drawing the font. Got preliminaries for the numbers and letters. Seems to be a bold font. I seem to be trying to make the letter and numbers more symmetric in case I need to use them for graphics. Haven't fully thought out what symbols to gut in the ASCII table. The addition of Googly eyes are a must!

There is a good selection of bitmap fonts for use in your games on the Pickford Bros site :-

"As so many people have trouble designing nice looking game fonts I thought it would be helpful to include all my old bitmap game fonts here (or all the ones I can find), in a usable, downloadable format for homebrew or indie game developers. Feel free to use any of these fonts for whatever purpose you see fit. "

Thanks for the link! Looks like a very permissive license on those fonts.

 

I have most of the letters, numbers and such drawn. Just needs more tweaking before I can get to the character based graphic objects

Is the font itself looking good?

Its just my opinion but I think you need to be a bit more consistent with the thin top, fat bottom thing you've got going on. The following look a bit out of place to me "5", "6", "7", "C", "D", "E", "F", "O", "S", "Z", lower case "c", "m", "n" and "r". To some extent lower case "f" does a bit too. Other than those its coming together well.
