Pixel Font Blowout: Part 3
I could’ve dragged this out for years like the cast of Friends but luckily for the Internet I decided to just dump all the rest of the free pixel fonts on you. And don’t worry, we’re taking a break from bitmap fonts for a while after this.
9031 is worth a visit just for Bangalore, one of the few free pixel fonts I’ve ever used. A script font that’s actually usable? In pixel format, no less? Alright, where’s Ashton?
Clops only has a few free fonts for download, but I like the blocky Ozon.
You should recognize some of codeman38’s video game fonts (if you spent your adolescence playing Super Nintendo). Return of Ganon hit me like an arrow poisoned with sweet, sweet nostalgia.
Core has 3 packs of free pixel fonts. Pack 2 features my favorite, Bongonaut.
The free font section at Habitat Seven sports an interface that is sure to infuriate some of you, but I kind of like it. Drag a chunk of trash (?) from the bottom of the screen into the tree chipper(?) and press the Windows or Mac button and it’ll spit out a nice bitmap font.
Orgdot has a nice selection and a very cool interface that lets you type a preview of each font right on the page. Check out the Teacher’s Pet and Kharon families.
Sucharaka has 4 tiny free fonts. I’m really running out of stuff to say.
Underware’s Unibody family is an example of truly high quality pixel font design. If you use these fonts, you might accidentally look professional!
Okay, that was great. Now I never want to see another pixel font ever again.

If any readers are burned out on pixel fonts, too, note that there are a few non-pixel fonts available at that Sucharaka link, too!

Habitat7’s interface confused me momentarily, too… because all but one of the clumps, along with the compactor itself, required scrolling down at my screen resolution, which took about a minute for me to figure out. D’oh!
And thanks for the link to my game fonts. Incidentally, I got an e-mail back in 2003 from one of the original DeluxePaint developers, thanking me for resurrecting his old font design. ^_^

That was brilliant. Well worth the hard work and effort you put into this post! :D Very much appreciated by pixel font lovers like meself 8).
