Topaz Unicode by Screwtape, 2024. Adds a rich set of Unicode characters to the default Amiga 500 font, and offers it as a TTF-font. New characters include
- all the Windows Glyph List 4 characters, including Cyrillic, Greek, and the MS-DOS CP437 symbols
- everything in the Box Drawing Unicode block
- everything in the Block Elements Unicode block
- a lot of things in the Symbols for Legacy Computing Unicode block
- anything else that caught my eye or seemed useful
The font is available as TTF at GitLab.

Chafa converts images or video to text in a terminal, and there are plenty of settings to play with. Made by Hans Petter Jansson.
This recent Unicode-proposal about 8-bit character sets is a great initiative, although it only includes platforms that were popular in USA and UK. For now. ;) The uncredited PETSCII Darth Vader is by Ailadi, btw.
