FONTLOG for the Press Start 2P fonts
|
||
|
||
This file provides detailed information on the Press Start 2P Font Software.
|
||
|
||
This information should be distributed along with the Press Start 2P fonts
|
||
and any derivative works.
|
||
|
||
Basic Font Information
|
||
|
||
Press Start 2P is a bitmap font based on the font design from 1980s Namco
|
||
arcade games. It works best at sizes of 8px, 16px and other multiples
|
||
of 8. Although the design of uppercase letters and digits dates
|
||
back to Atari's "Sprint" (1977), the specific glyph forms in this TrueType
|
||
conversion are based on those from "Return of Ishtar" (1986), one of the
|
||
first games to include and regularly use lowercase as well as uppercase
|
||
letters in its screen font.
|
||
|
||
Unlike the original font from the "Return of Ishtar" ROM, Press Start 2P
|
||
includes a wide variety of non-ASCII Unicode characters for pan-European
|
||
use, including Greek and Cyrillic. It could be expanded to support
|
||
other scripts.
