Not that external CoCo fonts is on anyone's mind at present, but I
wanted to update that I finished extracting the font ROM files from the
archives I font, including font data from the BASIC programs in the
archives. I wrote up the process here:

And the font files (and text and SVG representations of the ROM files)
are at:

Dennis, if you happen to have any of the font ROMs I am missing, let me
know.  I assume not, but I figured I would ask.
