Gamer fonts for your personal computer

Uh.. isn't this illegal? I seem to recall Microsoft getting sued for the Vista font for similiar imitation or use of a font.

Are Microsoft, Nintendo, or Capcom selling their versions of the fonts shown above? If not, how is their territory being tread upon?

this site is a lot better for free game/movie fonts

Awesome. Thanks for the links.

Some I would add to the list though:

Just thought I'd mention that Microsoft "official" Xbox 360 font is real, but not the one above. The real font is called Convection, and if you google search it, you can find out what it looks like, AND a possible work around to install the bad boy onto your computer, for free.

I personally use Convection for the 360 part of my MySpace profile, but only other people with the font will really take notice.

You guys missed a lot of them. Search for "Triforce" to get the Zelda font, "Mario" to find the Mario 64 font, Silent Hill for that one... plus the Halo one already mentioned.

I don't know if this is illegal, but still is pretty cool

Try this one, as well.

Another good font site. This one has some "logo" and "image" fonts that can be outlined in Illustrator.

The "dingbat" category is linked below. You can get Final Fantasy Characters, Silent Hill, Sonic, Mario, and more...free.

I love this site.

You could download the Rez font from the official website, not sure if you still can but it's here if anyone wants to try:

These come in handy ^^

Re: Legality

"The US Copyright Office still officially refuses to accord protection for typeface designs. This is due to a misunderstanding of the field, which has resulted in the United States being the only country in the western world not to recognize the intellectual property in typeface designs."

This pertains to the design, the actual .ttf file is copyrightable, but you can just copy the design into a font editor program and you're legally in the clear. You can understand how much this pisses off typeface artists. :)

Many more fonts can be found here
