PICO-8 Programming Fonts
A downloadable tool for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
Herein lies a collection of fonts I've modified for PICO-8 programming. For details on these fonts and hints on how to use them in editors, see the Github site:
https://github.com/juanitogan/p8-programming-fonts
Thus far, only one TrueType font (DejaVu) and a few Windows FON bitmap fonts are available here. I could convert the bitmap fonts to Unix/Linux types, but is that really needed anymore considering FreeType now supports FON as well?
Naming Legend
| Suffix | Spacing | Encoding | Who |
|---|---|---|---|
| (none) | Double-wide extended chars | Win 1252, ISO 8859-1, etc | What most of you probably want |
| OEM | Double-wide extended chars | OEM, Symbol | What most of the rest of you want |
| Mono | Fully monospaced | Win 1252, ISO 8859-1, etc | The few, the unproud, the regular |
| Mono OEM | Fully monospaced | OEM, Symbol | Old-schoolers |

Awesome stuff
Would be great to get an all in one package option as well :D So we don't have to download one at a time.
Thank you! A fine idea, I'm sure. The collection just grew somewhat unpredictably from one to many the more I got distracted by the challenge of editing various fonts. Thus, packaging them is something I never cared to go back and do after the challenge wore off. Maybe if they got more interest. The collection makes a bit more sense on the GitHub page where it's maybe easier to find the ones you want. As far as I can tell so far, most people download only one or two.
Or... follow the GitHub link above and download a zip of the repo. UPDATE: Added a download button to the top of the list that links to the repo's master.zip (non-PICO-8 Tektite not included).
