I wanted to try a custom font this time around, and it would really have enhanced some of my abandoned ideas. But for my final concept, I've settled on making my game look like it's running in EGA hi-res mode, so I'm using a standard EGA font that I downloaded from this site. It really looks perfect in Adventuron!

Sounds wonderful. Love the EGA style.
I've been kicking around adding an old school PC font to Adventuron for a while now, and it's only the byte overhead that has dissuaded me. Adventuron is already carrying 5 baked in fonts, and the PC font is a bit larger than average as it has more glyphs than the average 8-bit font.
