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. | |
