Awesome :)


WolRon(Posted 2003) [#3]
The site doesn't seem to say if they're free or what?


Hansie(Posted 2003) [#4]
Correct, WolRon

But since the majority of the fonts are from old tech-demo's on the C64/Amiga/Atari etc, and from game companies, who now no longer exists, I would say that they're pretty safe to use without worrying.

I actually remember some of the intros/demos that these fonts come from. Too cool! Nice walk down memory lane...


Hansie(Posted 2003) [#7]

PATISAWESOME: They are bitmap fonts, which means lettering created and stored as images!

for those interested, I came across another very good font site today:

Tons of fonts, freeware. explicitely allowed to be used in commercial applications as well.

http://www.aenigmafonts.com/

Aside from TrueType font, there are also color bitmap versions available of most of 'em.
