Still doing research, found the prices of new computers in April 1983 in Norway, I added the prices in NOK and Euros for 2025 compensating for inflation (using the official Norwegian SSB site).

Ah, I think the upper row symboles (not the digits) are actually a different font. The star (*) on the lower row is actually 6-pointed.
The closest that has popped up is Varela Round by Joe Prince. But you can tell from e.g. G and J it is not exactly the same.

It comes with plenty of weight options, but it is not actually rounded. Also the * is 6-pinted, not 5.

It is very close so I suspect it is a variant from the same designer, René Bieder. Perhaps Galano Grotesque + Galano Classic design package (for the 1, Ø etc).

Galano Classic is the display companion of the Galano Grotesque family.
Like the Grotesque family, it also pays tribute to the geometric shapes of Futura,...

The LOCI ROM C include file charsets come from BFM2. Perl with embedded data so YMMV (not to everybody's taste)

Yeah the JSON export/import format requires an intermediate step to get that. I got a couple of different scripts around to slice and dice it for different uses like Oric C and SSD OLED etc

Do it any way you enjoy. For me, the online BitFontMaker2 made poking charsets pure therapy. www.pentacom.jp/pentacom/bit...
