| 8 Basic Font Information |
| 9 |
| 10 Press Start 2P is a bitmap font based on the font design from 1980s Namco |
| 11 arcade games. Although the design of uppercase letters and digits dates |
| 12 back to Atari's "Sprint" (1977), the specific glyph forms in this TrueType |
| 13 conversion are based on those from "Return of Ishtar" (1986), one of the |
| 14 first games to include and regularly use lowercase as well as uppercase |
| 15 letters in its screen font. |
| 16 |
| 17 Unlike the original font from the "Return of Ishtar" ROM, Press Start 2P |
| 18 includes a wide variety of non-ASCII Unicode characters for pan-European |
| 19 use, including Greek and Cyrillic. |
