   8x8 Font Advent Calendar 2024 Day 13

   Delphine

   French software house Delphine produced some fine games in their time from point 'n click classics to rotoscoped cutting-edge platformers.

   This bumper pack contains 4 fonts.

   A neat wide sans from Future Wars/Operation Stealth....

   the quirky UI font from Another World...

   a high-contrast art-deco from Flashback...

   and a striking bold font from the Genesis version of Shaq Fu!

     @damieng oh, don't get me wrong, it's not a case of duplication/"i've done this already". always happy to see people discover some of these gems as well. sadly too lazy to implement search on my site - used to be easy enough to google for site-specific results, but Goog has obviously dropped that feature to push AI down and ads down our throat. searching on fonstruct might work better https://fontstruct.com/fontstructors/145/redux

     @patrick_h_lauke How do you go about doing yours?

     I used to use screenshots to plot them into my editor (BASINC) but more lately have been using ROMs/DSKs/SNAs of the game with Binxelview to find them as I got tired of looking for screenshots with QZX and symbols.

     @damieng it varies. for mame/emulator ones, i try to use the tile map viewer (F4 in mame, other emulators vary). i've been known to binxelview amstrad/c64/spectrum roms. for some games, i do end up screenshotting like crazy and doing manual reconstructions (did that recently for some Amiga ones). if i DO manage to get to the tile view ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY7hoIeKcsQ

     @patrick_h_lauke Is there a search/full-list?

     I'd like to avoid duplicating the effort for the remaining advent days if I can!
