BESCII pixel font

An 8x8 pixel font based on PETSCII for BASIC Engine.

This font was inspired by the Commodore 64 font (PETSCII), but with some modifications to correct a few flaws, and a unique idiosyncracy that gives it a special flavour. You can read a post mortem that details how it was created in my blog.

Pixel art is included in the Private Use Are, to allow for easy game creation.

A glyphs reference chart is included in the demo folder.
