IDK if a font like this exist for PC (unless a fan did it) but you can pick them from a sprite-sheet and make them appear by code everytime something is written if its for a fangame, Sorry for not helping you with a name, I simply doesnt have a clue =X

I have an enormous folder of fonts on my desktop. I'll look through them and report back, if someone doesn't beat me to the answer.

Please Drac9, if you find it. Need it for my fan-game. Surely, someone could figure it out and point me in the right direction.

a sprite font would be the way to go. Thats how pretty much every game like that works. Its so it looks the same 100% of the time with no machine dependent differences affecting it. Depending on how your makin your fan game it should be pretty easy to use a sprite font too. Most of the time it doesnt require any special attention outside of making sure the image with all the characters matches the format you need
