Hello! I like this font and would like to convert it for use with pico-8 (see this message for more info: https://itch.io/post/2610777 ), with due credit given :) I have looked at the PNG images and I don’t understand how to use them; usually fonts have their characters laid out in ASCII order, or in alphabetic order, but here I see a partial repertoire in an irregular order. Am I looking wrong? Thanks in advance for help!

Hey! No, you're not wrong, I had used a tool to generate the image version of the font from the actual ttf file - not sure what was specifically wrong with the config, but the output is non-standard and I had trouble using it semi-recently, and did get some better results converting again with different configurations, but I never got beyond a few test files with that, so not sure which of those are actually usable.

I'll possibly try and upload a better bitmap version at the weekend maybe if work lets up. In the meantime, you may make much smoother progress generating a png version with the exact specifications you need yourself from the .ttf file, there's a bunch of free/open source tools that can do that!

I see, thanks! I will try one of these ttf to png tools when I have time this week.
