FZX fonts: Fairfax, Magdalena, McMillen, Mischke, Monterey

Post by RebeccaRGB »

I recently discovered the FZX font format, and added support for FZX to my bitmap font editor, Kreative Bits'n'Picas. I've converted five of my bitmap fonts (Fairfax, Magdalena, McMillen, Mischke, Monterey) to FZX.

Cursive fonts make me twitch, but I like the rest :D

[mention]Einar Saukas[/mention] do I give Rebecca's font bundle it's own ZXDB ID the same way this entry has one?

Someone asked me to share the Russian one a while ago.

https://github.com/Threetwosevensixseven/FZXFonts

Feel free to add it to your collection, Einar.

Thank you!

Do you prefer we create a new ZXDB entry called "JetPowerJack" or "JetPowerJackFZX"? Or perhaps a more generic package name, in case you add more fonts to this package in the future?

Probably best to call it "SevenFFF FZX Fonts" or something generic, as I will add more later. And JetPowerJack would be a game entry in its own right... when it eventually gets released.

I added a tap and images for it on github. Thanks!

R-Tape sent me a PM regarding the ZXDB entry for KreativeFZX but I can't respond because I can't send PMs.

There is a minimum number of posts you need to make before sending PMs. I think the number is 3, so you might find you are now able to reply by PM.
