Created by @patrick_h_lauke@mastodon.social.

recreation of the default pixel font on the commodore C64.

this recreation includes most of the box drawing and block element characters, mapped to the equivalent unicode points. in addition, the checkerboard block elements have been mapped to U+2591, U+2592, and the U+25F0 – U+25F7 range.

in addition, the font has been slightly expanded to include the right and down arrow, and a handful of accented characters. apart from these, only the characters present in the computer's firmware have been included.
