Re: Good small fonts for NTSC LCD screen

Another package of small fonts to try is text/bfont/CompactFonts on Aminet.

I designed those a while ago. Has nicer-looking (IMHO) replacements for topaz, and proportional versions, as well as some small proportional and fixed-width fonts. The fonts are:

Excel - 8x8 and 10x9: A replacement for the ROM Topaz font. You can use FF (from the Workbench 1.3 disk) to replace the ROM font with this one.

ExcelCondensed - 7x8: A thinner version of Excel/8 (7 pixels wide as opposed to 8). This looks better on screens which have a near-1:1 aspect ratio (e.g. NTSC:High Res Laced), and allows more text to fit on the screen.

pExcel - 8 and 9, pExcelCondensed - 8: These are proportional versions of Excel and ExcelCondensed; they look nicer in applications that allow proportional fonts to be used.

Thin - 6x7, 6x8 and 6x9: A small fixed-width font

ThinCondensed - 5x7 and 5x8: A condensed version of Thin.

Icon - 7 and 8 pixels, IconCondensed - 7 and 8 pixels: Proportional versions of Thin and ThinCondensed.
