For anyone who's at all into old-school video game typography, I've posted an all-new, completely revamped version of the "Press Start" font (the one based on the font from all those old arcade games) on my fonts page. The main reason I'm bringing this up is for the benefit of the international crowd here. Unlike the earlier version of the font, which just supported Latin-1, this new version of the font includes support for all major Eastern European languages. And yes, this includes Cyrillic. Feel free to make any critiques here, too-- if any kerning looks off, any characters look just plain wrong, or whatever. I'll gladly incorporate them into the next version. Edit: Oops, just realized this probably would fit better into the "Big Old Arcade" forum... Edited by codeman38, Jun 13 2011, 08:41:25 PM.

Oh, that looks really good! The PressStart font has even got the Croatian "š đ č ć ž" letters! |

Forgot to comment on this until now. (I have a habit of doing such a thing, especially on Youtube ) I was gonna make a NES-style font myself, but I haven't got a clue how to make Truetype fonts.

Oh, I know that there are some programs for making custom TT fonts, Google might help you. |

I used FontForge to create this and most of my other fonts. It's a program that was originally designed for Linux and definitely feels like it, but there are ways to get it running on Windows and Mac OS as well. (I'm running it in OS X on a MacBook, myself.) |

I hope so. Being a Windows 7 user, I'd imagine that trying to run a Linux program would be a complete pain in the arse. If anything, probably best to go with one designed for Windows IMO.
