The Level 9 adventures "ye olde" font: finding it, using it

[scruss]

I seem to remember that the Level 9 adventure games had an old-style bitmap font that — at the time — I thought was the coolest thing ever. Unfortunately, all of the archived versions I've found just used the regular system font. I remember even loading the games as far as would load the font, then using BASIC with that font 'cos I liked it so much.
So, a couple of questions:

• am I mis-remembering this as being from the Level 9 adventures like Dungeon Adventure?
• I'm guessing I'd need to use a procedure a bit like this — Read Charset from BASIC — to get the bitmaps out in a useful format?

I don´t know if you are talking about some medieval style typography, or a system typography. Back in my time, I liked to use the PC1512 font (ported by myself with Art Studio) because I liked it a lot (way more elegant that CPC font and more readable).

Aha! Found it!

Ripping the font out doesn't look so simple as I remember, though

Here's a disk image containing the extracted font for you.

Great minds think alike!

which I wrote up here (with source): The coolest font (when I was 15, that is)
The link includes BASIC source to the font as SYMBOL commands.
