river city ransom (nes) font

description:

recreation of the pixel font from technōs' river city ransom (aka downtown nekketsu story, street gangs, 1989) for the famicom/NES.

the special 1 and 2 characters have been mapped to superscript 1 (U+00b9) and superscript 2 (U+00b2). the original had no real apostrophe/single quote, and instead used double-spaced lines and a comma - this has been rectified in this recreation (which is why the characters overall are taller than 8 pixels).

only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
