I made myself a pixel font for composite (well, monochrome) video output on an RP2040:

https://github.com/PhobGCC/PhobGCC-SW/blob/main/PhobGCC/rp20...

(search for 1 to see letterforms)

The letters are 8x15 and verticals are 2 pixels wide to work better on older CRT televisions with less-sophisticated chroma filtering on their composite inputs.

I explicitly tried to avoid locking into 45 degree diagonals...

My only question now is, how do I turn this font into something I can use on a computer? I couldn't figure it out the last time I tried.
