I have a special addition to the collection, the ROM font of a Datapoint 8600 machine.

These contain an 8x12 bitmap font compatible with ASCII, but with the lowercase characters missing. If you think it is suitable for inclusion on your collection, I am happy to create a pull request.
The format of the bitmap data in the ROM image is a special snowflake and can be extracted with this Pascal source code:
