A bitmap font for localizing pixel art games.
LanaPixel contains approximately 19400 characters, with support for most modern European languages (Latin, Greek, Cyrillic), Turkish (Latin), and Korean (Hangul), good support for Japanese and Simplified Chinese, and some Traditional Chinese. The Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic characters have kerning.
However, please note that while many CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) characters are supported, many of them are nearly illegible due to the small size, and thus this font needs to be used very carefully to ensure legibility and avoid visually complex characters. Using a larger font would be the much easier option.
This font is designed to be displayed at 11px. As this is a pixel font, it is recommended to only scale by integer amounts (1x or 11px, 2x or 22px, 3x or 33px...) to avoid distortion.
Thank you to chimeforest (https://github.com/chimeforest) for providing the initial set of outlines! The outlines were created from a PNG generated by @LorenLemcke.
There are three TTF versions of the font available, each in its own zip:
In addition to the TTF, the three zips contain these files, all identical between the zips:

These are a couple of game designs I never got around to using. The original timestamps have been lost, but they're from 2017 at most. Maybe you'll find them inspirational:
- Citypunk: a cyberpunk trading game
- Ruler of Andromeda: a space opera game of ship battles
I held onto them for the longest time hoping to add a third, but it wasn't to be. Also, there's no art that could serve as a preview.

This is a 12px pixel art font that resembles textura/textualis writing from late medieval manuscripts and early printed books. Includes a Regular and a Condensed version.
In its basic form, it makes for flavourful fantasy/medieval headings and in-game documents.
When combined with software that can make use of advanced OpenType features, such as Photoshop, this font can automatically use long s and apply a variety of medieval scribal abbreviations to text, quickly making your ominous Latin spellbooks look way more authentic. Most of these abbreviations only make sense for Latin text, so leave this feature off if you're writing in other languages. If you find the font uses ligatures and abbreviations where you don't want them, stick a @ in there - the character is invisible in this font. In programs with a glyph viewer, you can also insert the various characters manually, for even greater control. The ^ sign adds a wide overline above the previous character, so you can manually add it to suggest elided text, e.g. ip^m produces ipm with a line over the p, short for "ipsum".
A set of basic ligatures (supported by most art programs, but only some game engines) is also provided, to make words like "difficult" and "fjord" look nicer.
The first preview image is an example of what this font can do in combination with a little manual editing - faint guide lines, a hand-drawn initial, and some fiddling with the line breaks and spacing.
The condensed version has less space between vertical strokes, which lends it a more uniform appearance. For a more handwritten look, try mixing both styles. The capital letters are exactly the same in both versions.

The ZIP contains both TTF files of the font, Regular and Condensed. OGA doesn't allow uploading TTFs directly ):The TTFs have both bitmaps and outlines. Since this is a pixel font, make sure smoothing/interpolation is turned off when rendering it, and use a font size that's a multiple of 12px.
