A downloadable font

Pixeldeco is a 7x7 pixel font for retro games and pixel art in a bunch of languages.

Completed Unicode Blocks: Basic Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, Latin Extended A, Greek and Coptic, Cyrillic, Cyrillic Supplement, Armenian, CJK Symbols and Punctuation, Hiragana, Katakana, Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms

There's also a few other bits and pieces.

Roadmap

There are no plans for future development, but more characters may be added over time.

However, characters with accents are double width, with the base letter filling 7x7 and the accent filling another 7x7. If this ends up being really weird, I may come back to rework accented characters as well.

Mac - Drag font file into the ~/Fonts folder.

Unity Usage Notes

In the Font Asset Creator in TextMeshPro, using a Sample Size (Point Size) of 8, padding to 1px, setting Render Mode to RASTER, and turning off "Get Font Features" will give the best results. (If 8 provides misshapen blocks, try nearby numbers, and please let me know!)

After creating the Font Asset, tap the arrow on its icon to expand, go to the Atlas, and set the filter mode to "Point". This will stop any rounding and keep your font looking crisp!

This font displays properly at point sizes that are multiples of 8 (or the number you used above). Using any other point sizes isn't recommended unless you're intentionally looking for a distorted style.
