This is the documentation about the font named “Sokoban”.
If you are using system 7, drag and drop the file “Sokoban” into the folder “Fonts” in your system folder.
If you are using system 6 (or less), copy the fonts from the file “Sokoban” into your system file using “font-DA mover” (maybe you should also consider upgrading to system 7…).
As described in the file “Sokoban docs”, you can design your own levels with a simple text editor (like SimpleText).
Select the font “Sokoban” with any size.
Symbols used in the screen files:
“ ” : “ ” (space)—An empty space (floor)
“#” : “#” — Walls (the walls will be curved and shadowed automatically)
“.” : “.” — Target or goal square
“$” : “$” — Treasure
“*” : “*” — Treasure on a goal area
“@” : “@” — You (the player)
“+” : “+” — You standing on a goal square.

Technical description:
I designed the font family “Sokoban” using the font editor FontStudio.
The family name of this font is “Sokoban”; its resource ID is 1031; its script is Roman.
It contains no outline font but 9 bitmap fonts, corresponding to the sizes 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17 and 18 points.
Each font’s size is equal to its line height.
The normal characters have been copied from the font “Courier” (except for the 8 points copied from “tiny”).
Each sokoban character (even the space) is square, ie. width = height = line height = font size.
For example, in Sokoban 10 points, the numbersign (#) is a square whose width and height are exactly 10 pixels.
The 7 special sokoban characters (numbersign (#), dollar ($), plus (+), period (.), at (@), asterisk (*) and space ( )) have been designed with FontStudio to represent the sokoban items from Scott Lindhurst’s Sokoban. Their old drawing is still available a little further in the table. For example, the ASCII code of “dollar” ($) is 0x24. Adding 0x80, you get 0xA4. This is the ASCII code of “section” (§) which now contains the “dollar” sign. The corresponding characters are sterling (£), section (§), acute (’), AE (Æ), questiondown (¿), trademark (™).
