Need help finding a good font

[Blondbraid]

I didn't think any of the fonts in the SCI fonts pack suited my current project, so I'm wondering if anyone here knows where I can find other AGS-ready fonts to download.
I'm also looking for a font that has French and German letters in it so I can have the game text translated without worrying about missing letters.
Any good advice?

bitmap fonts are great for low res games, like in 320x200, you make bigger sized games, but maybe these work there too...

Are you looking for bitmap fonts or anti-aliased (TrueType) fonts? What resolution is your game in? Do you want a stylized font (e.g. cartoony like in Day of the Tentacle) or a more neutral text-display font?

Nice, the fonts I tried seems to work fine, although I haven't tested them in different languages yet.

The current project I'm working on has a 1024 x 768 solution, so I'm looking for something that will look good in a high resolution.
I want something that looks like a typewriter font, but the top priority is for it to be clear and easy to read.

click on the font name, and not immediately on the fat download button. There you can preview the complete character set of every font on the dafont website. Make sure all your special characters needed are there, then it should just work.

typewriter and easy to read, sounds like a paradox. I had a really hard time reading the texts in downfall for example. better use a simple sans serif font or still, these bitmap fonts could look okay and most importantly readable in higher res.

I usually get my fonts from https://fonts.google.com/
They have very professional fonts that usually include lots of characters and have a good license.

Yes, I've noticed certain types can be hard to read, especially in larger blocks of text, however, I've usually found some of the hardest fonts to read low-resolution bitmap fonts with large pixels in similar styles to this one,
so it's hard for me to tell which type of fonts will be easy for others to read. The one I've currently chosen for menu text is called Modern Typewriter, though I'm open to changing it.

Thanks for the link, I'll check it out as well when I get the time!
