I understand the urge to handwave away copyright or whatever, but it would be nice to at least see some attribution or the links from which you obtained the fonts. The people who made the content you're redistributing would probably appreciate that.
It would be nice if you could create a webpage with a bit of JS with controls for choosing the font parameters, and the right font coming up on the browser window, perhaps with a nice zoom factor.
Sounds cool - you’re welcome to submit a pull request.
To turn this into a font for a sprite sheet would take some sort of mapping for each..
Autosegmentation seems maybe practical.
Are the glyphs in any order? I just poked around and it doesn't seem so. Indexing them according to character code would be a fair amount of work by hand. Maybe a handwriting Neural Net? Hmm.. I have an old one somewhere

And that's fine: Github has a perfectly reasonable dispute resolution procedure, where rights holders first get to contact the repo owner to either remove or properly attribute their work. And if that doesn't lead to a satisfactory resolution, they can file a DMCA takedown notice and force the issue.
Yep. I am fine with artists contacting me if they want their work credited or removed. I only did it because it seemed like a good idea to secure them somewhere.

This is a perfectly reasonable response. I would even say in a readme “hey, I don’t know where all this came from originally, contact me if it’s you” or something along those lines. It’s fine though. These bitmap fonts are awesome even if a little light on char support. What would be really cool is an xml or json file with the rect positions of the chars in the charmap.

Oh well, ask for forgiveness, not permission. Zero people are going to press claims on this repo. And I'll make the easy wager that nobody who made any of these fonts are ever going to know about (much less care about) this repo. We bootlick/grandstand over the weirdest things on this forum. Demosceners caring about another hacker publishing or using their font? Oh bother.
After seeing a few of the sites go down it seemed like a good idea to put it under source control. I don't claim rights to any of these works.
