A ROM font compatible 8x8 font

Wuerfel_21

Here's a font. It has all the characters from the ROM font, but in 8x8 (there's also an 8x16 version, but not all the special characters fit in with each other and i didn't really care)

Its licensed CC0 and based on funscii (in turn based on unscii).

A C64-style binary version is attached, but you can also compile it to a BMP file from scratch: https://github.com/Wuerfel21/funscii
(CharPad was used to convert to binary)

Awesome! I hope Propeller Tool is maintaining use of the original Parallax font, because being able to put simple schematics into source code is really useful.

Hi

Does FlexProp support this font? (Chips)

I mean this is just a font. It works anywhere you can get it to work.

If you mean using the Parallax TTF font in FlexProp on th PC, I think it'd work if you changed the font to it.
It won't handle putting special characters (anything non-ASCII that is, including stuff like ÄÖÜ) into strings properly though...

I was looking for an 8x8 font today and lo-and-behold, this cool font popped up that Ada had made almost 5 years ago.

I need to turn it 90 degrees for use in portrait mode now.
