did u know i made 175 pixel fonts great for games, videos, stream overlays, etc.? not only are there dozens of families, but many also come with multiple styles so you gain access to bold, italics, and various sizes of the same fonts chevyray.itch.io you can buy them individually too

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:

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)

… uppercase 'i'! Mine does as well, and that was one of the reasons I decided to try making a font; I wanted more fonts to have Both of those things to help distinguish between the two characters. Also wanted to learn more about OpenType tables, hence all the crazy ligature stuff I mentioned.
