They are supposed to be used like this:
You open the image.
Split the image into 4x6 (8x10) tiles.
Number them continously from left to right, top to bottom.
For accessing a tile you simply cast char to int and use this as the tile index.
This should also work with unicode since the beginning addresses are backward compatible to ASCII if I recall it correctly.
The problem is that CC-BY-SA 3.0 allows commercial use.
Somebody could download this and use it in a commercial game according to the license you have given, but that would violate the license given for the font.
And since buying a license is "nontransferable", a donating doesn't change that situation.
I'm not saying that you are thieving. It's just about implications of the license, one wouldn't think of immediately.
And I could be totally wrong, that could fall under fair-use or whatever, I'm just cautious (and maybe a bit paranoid).
Wow, a great font.
But I have doubts about using it in oga submissions.
"My fonts are free for noncommercial use and are donationware for commercial purposes."
This font does not allow a commercial use.
I would recommend to remove it from this submission and also computers of the other.
I'll take a look if I can find a replacement alien font that does allow commercial usage.
From my side you can add it without giving attribution to me, the font itself is cc0.
But technically the remix is also licensed as cc-by-sa 3.0.

32h left, some game jams are just 24h
The last one could also be the reverse situation ... shooting an energy blast
I tried to make it into a ttf bitmap font, but I don't know if it works at all.
It's only 6x10.
I made a little remix of the computers and changed the font.

This is the original, I drew those in mtPaint.

EDIT: This public domain font could be interesting https://www.1001fonts.com/lsw-drachenklaue-font.html, even though the public domain itself is legally questionable
3 days left ... slowly I get doubtful about making it in time.
