well, I appreciate the quick reply nonetheless. your fonts have been on my radar for a long time, I am just waiting for the stars to align so I can afford them haha

check ur dms

Neat! I've been working on a bitmap font of my own, on and off for a few years. I've got a few thousand characters supported (most Latin, some Greek), ligatures that use chained contextual substitution for long ffffi chains, currently-incomplete small caps, and a few other things.. But I'm not (c)

… very good at all when it comes to getting the shapes right for some of the more.. Obscure characters. Do any of your fonts support 'Ⱥ', 'Ȼ', 'ȼ', 'Ⱦ', 'ʥ', or 'Σ', to name a few of the problematic characters? I'm really curious how others implement them in a bitmap font! Here's mine of those:

My 'Ⱥ' looks weirdly disjointed to me, and when I see it at a small size it looks almost like an 'h' with the stem slanted forward, with a slash through it. 'Ȼ' and 'ȼ' both look like differently sized and slanty 'e's. 'Ⱦ' looks off-balance to me. 'ʥ' looks good at small sizes, but up close (c)

… looks like two horizontal lines with a dithered gray triangle between them that hangs off the side a bit, and has a weird thing dangling down the middle. And 'Σ' looks almost curved at the center point, instead of pointed. I've tried many different ways to get it pointed in the middle, but (c)

yeah i can see your problems. pixel fonts really struggle with letters that have lots of overlapping strokes, hence why japanese/chinese pixel fonts tend not to work well at some of the tiny sizes that english/etc. can support. it’s tough, sometimes you can find tricks to make some letters work tho

no. the very first thing on every font’s page is the characters it supports, so you can check that if you’re curious. at this point EFIGS was the focus

Ah, I hadn't looked at the page you linked to, was just looking at the pics. Bit of a bummer, but ah well. I suppose there's a reason why so few bitmap fonts implement these glyphs. Still, really like your font! It has a little curl at the bottom of lowercase 'L', AND bars on the ends of (c)

I've bought your fonts in entirety before, has the collection ever changed/updated?

chevyray.itch.ioPixel Font Megapack - 175 Fonts by ChevyRayA collection of 175 quality pixel fonts, great for games, videos, stream overlays and websites.

if you bought one of the old packs, those have nothing to do with this pack. if you bought this pack, there is a development log at the bottom of the page i update every time i patched them: chevyray.itch.io/pixel-font-m...
