What is this?

I have diassembled and/or searched BIOS and VGA-ROMs for fonts and extracted these. Also I have written a few tools to support this job. All extracted fonts and screenshots are available here. I have written a big table to show what is covered. Also had a look and wrote about fonts of open source BIOSes/source available.

If you have exotic ROMs or links to other open source BIOSes please let me know. Testing a ROM for known fonts and add it to this list only takes a few minutes and if there is one with a yet unknown font, I am happy to extract and document it :)
I am really intersted in ROMs of old laptops with weird LCD-fonts and embedded devices (like POS systems, cash registers, money machines and other stuff). Also if you have localized graphic cards, that bring a local charset (ex. greek), I am happy to extract their' fonts.

I already extracted more than 240 ROM-fonts. Most likely I am not updating this counter for every font, so check the font-bin and font-images folder, if there is something new relevant to you.

The tool

I have written a tool to browse a ROM image and search for 8x8, 8x14, 8x16 charsets and export. It can be found here on github in another repo, called "romfont-extractor".

ls

Already extracted fonts

LEGEND: "ok" - font already extracted
        "XX" - font not included in ROM (newer cards dont ship 8x14 usually)
        "  " - not yet done
        "??" - something strange
        "LO" - only lower 128 characters available
