Heres a guy that made his own Jaguar fonts. Not the most amazing- but they are still VERY good interpretations:

IT WAS ME! (Signed up just to say that so ego +1)

Was told someone posted it on here. Got some off a thread on here from a few years back (googling Atari Jaguar fonts). Didnt have the lot of them so I edited some existing ones.
Needed a few letters for a video im making (needed a new video intro and was looking at my jag) so I made them and the rest encase some one else would find them "handy"
Not to happy with a "S" and "C", but its better than nothing

I made a Jaguar TTF a while back, it's not very good & I'm not happy with lots of it, but maybe someone wants to touch it up & replace a few of the ropier characters.It's called 'beebris' but will install as 'jagwar' I think.

EDIT: lol, A B C D E F.. J?! That's typing in the dark for you ;)

Also on the subject of fonts, various games and most example programs shipped with the dev kit make use of the Atari ST 8x8 bitmap font, so I thought I'd throw that into the mix too.

One thing I've always loved about this font is the inclusion of the subgenius, spread over 4 characters in the nonprinting section.

Nice job there.
Maybe combine the two and have a definitive set?

You can blame some Jaguar fanatics that I talk to at theComputer club I run I started to get a bit more arsed about it.

Still a cheap scart/AV lead for one (and a cheap flash card as im a player more than a collector and two extra pads) would go down nicely then it will be out every now and then (Bizarre the landlord owns Alien vs predator on it, but not a Jag)
