<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
