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

[Bill Pierce]

Why can't the font from the Coco 3 rom be used as a model to creat a Coco font? 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.

Try this:

http://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/ensjo_mc6847_latin
http://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/ensjo_mc6847

Need to register.

Ensjo seems to be a guy from Brasil who contributed a lot to an accurate
MESS VDG emulation, so I assume the font is "original" (at least the ASCII
32 to 95). However, it looks like it's not the T1 font...
