are you telling me there's no website that obsessively collects fonts from ancient computer programs

  @takashioomoto @foone it might also be interesting to find a way to dump the death generator fonts to a modern format

  @zaratustra @takashioomoto how dare you imply my font format isn't modern?

  @zaratustra so, something like @foone 's death generator? https://deathgenerator.com/#gallery
  But for, say, WordPerfect And Harvard Graphics?

  @zaratustra @takashioomoto but I'm guessing you mean something like TTF/OTF so they can be used outside of the death generator?
  I've looked into that but the last time I looked there wasn't any easy way to automate creating the types of fonts I'd need to, because the tools only really handled monochrome fonts, and the death generator fonts aren't. There's support for colored fonts (mainly because of emoji) but the tooling for it isn't great, and compatibility is very iffy.
