Thank you for downloading the Commodore 64 Font!

The first computer I ever owned was a great little 8-bit wonder called the
Commodore 64. Due to the hours upon hours I spent both playing games and
learning to program (at age 12 in 1986) I gained a love for computers.

Needless to say, I created a true type font that mimics the machine's
character set. Each symbol that was present on the original Commodore 64
computer is available in the font.

I added a number of dingbats when possible. The "3D" pictures of the
Commodore 64 and 1541 Disk Drive were created from photos of my system.
A number of the dingbats are based on other dingbats available on the
Internet.


Anyway, please enjoy.
