custom bitsy fonts
A downloadable assortment of fonts
I made a custom font for my 5-Years-O-Bitsy jam entry, one thing led to another, and now I have 5-6 many fonts formatted to use in Bitsy games!
HUGE thanks to Sean for Fontsy, as I literally could not and would not have done all this work without it, and to Adam Le Doux for creating Bitsy in the first place. :3
If you make a game using one of these fonts, feel free to link to it in the comments! I'd love to see it :D

Ty for these! I'm sure i'll find a use for the rest eventually, but I was really excited to see the ascii-corrected bc the default bitsy font doesn't display āēīōū and I need it for my language <3 However, when I tried to "upload" custom font in the editor, it ended up showing no text at all o_O
Any suggestions for how to get the ascii-corrected to work properly?
Soo....I was hyped, but looks like I can't use this. What's that bitsyfont extension? I'm using RPG Maker and need tff file. Is there any option for tff?
THANK YOU! I started with GBC-style in my game and I needed a font... "DEMO ONLY" is perfect.
yay! i'd love to see how it looks in your game, so feel free to post a link here once you release it :D
I'll try to remember and post here! Thank you :)
Hey! I used the ascii_small_corrected font for this: BREA🌱HE
Thank you for putting these together!!!
the fonts bugged and showed chunky big squares, how do i fix it?
I think that sometimes the font doesn't get saved in the local browser storage, so you have to re-upload it. I remember having this problem before, but I can't remember how I solved it (^^;;) If it comes back to me, I'll let you know OTL
ohhhhh alright
reuploading didn't worked
same happened to me >w<
Thank you, that was cool to change the default font!
I love these fonts! Is there any way I could get them in .ttf?
Thank you for asking! I've now added a second table that provides information on .ttf file availability and relevant download links. I hope it helps!
Thank you!
