Thanks for posting!

To turn this into a font for a sprite sheet would take some sort of mapping for each..

Autosegmentation seems maybe practical.

Are the glyphs in any order? I just poked around and it doesn't seem so. Indexing them according to character code would be a fair amount of work by hand. Maybe a handwriting Neural Net? Hmm.. I have an old one somewhere


The few I've opened appear to cover a 60-character segment of the ASCII table from 0x20 to 0x5B in row major order with a fixed glyph size indicated in the file name.


There does seem to be consistency in groups with similar names, but e.g. from the first page, two of the same size with different ordering:

Still, it's a good point that there's some ordering. Maybe it's not so bad setting up an index by hand for each group.
