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╙ (ñ) which now contains the ╥dollar╙ sign. The corresponding characters are sterling (ú), section (ñ), acute (╒), AE («), questiondown (└), trademark (¬).
