I'm honestly not too familiar with the CPC 464. Does it use a different font for the other modes? All the resources I saw just show one font. If you can provide a reference for the other fonts, I may be able to create those variations.

Mode 1 image

Mode 2 (i found one here https://retrofun.pl/2021/06/01/amstrad-cpc-international-font/ ) image

Mmm... To me it seems that it's the same font, but with the characters stretched or shrunk. Since the pixel fonts are based in a "pixel" unit (a vector square), maybe modifying that character could get the desired result. Let me see what I can do.

This might help a little Mode 0 160×200 image

Mode 2 640x200 image

Seems to be the same font as Mode 1, just doubled or halved horizontally. image

And in case you're interested, I've used this font for an Amstrad Theme in the AI Image Generation software SD.Next; image

Yes, that seems to be the case. That may simplify things a bit. I only want to ask you to be a bit patient, as I'm with other projects at the moment, but as soon as I can review this, I'll try to make these versions. I'll leave this issue open, to remind me. Cheers!

Nah, it's all cool, just though it'd be handy for other looking for Amstrad fonts, just for completionist's sake.
