I first started making this font because I wanted a font that:
- Was monospace, with correct cjk widths for all characters as per Unicode.
- Was bitmap, or pixeled, in other words, did not result in purple edges on LCD monitors because of cleartype.
- Had a high unicode range, with support of various scripts, symbols, etc.
- Was geometric with simple letter forms devoid of ornament.
I started by using "fontstruct.com", and later figured out how to use fontforge, once I exceeded that site's limitations on size. From time to time I've added things, and lately I've been working on adding more Kanji to the font's repertoire.
The result is this:

I'm still unsure of many of the letter forms however, as many of the languages I have very little knowledge of besides comparing letter forms in various other fonts and handwritten examples. If any person can see anything wrong in this, please point it out.
