[Coco] CoCo font for Mac/PC/etc.

[Mike Rowen]

I actually started using fontbuilder today to create one. I'm creating the 32 reverse video lower as well as a set of true lower for the 40/80 modes. Yes, they are simple fonts, but no one has taken the time to create a CoCo version. I'll release this in TTF & OTF format when it's done. The Fest is this week, so it may be a bit before you see it. If anyone else beats me to this, you are of course welcomed to! :)

Cheers,
-Mike R

I'm sure there's a "font creator" of sorts for PC/Mac/Linux that can be used to create the font based on the bit patterns of the Coco font. For that matter, just create the font based on the bit pattern from the Coco 2 "green screen" as it's pretty easy to pick out the bit pattern.
