Japanese Retro Game Font Fun

Here’s a link to a Japanese site offering a wide selection of retro game-related fonts, mostly bitmap fonts. As you can see, they have the classic Capcom typefaces! I can never find anything to do with these fonts once I’ve downloaded them, but I’m not going to let that discourage me. I’ll install them anyway!

    Hay there,
    Thanks for the help on the game fonts, but were did you find the capcom font on this page everything is japanese so tell me specifically were you got them thanks.

    If you look on the list you will see CPS and CPS2. What I should have said was, this isn’t the Capcom logo font, it’s the font used in most of the option screens on Capcom’s old console games. If you want the logo font it’s Korinna Extra-Bold.
