Show HN: Classic Nokia 3310 Dotmatrix Font based on original firmwares

https://webdraft.hu/fonts/nokja-original/

I'm working on a sideproject and while planning, it forked another sideproject to make the main one authentic enough (it is related to classic cellphones), so I started to make this font.

I found one which is not dotmatrix and another one which is not free, so I built this from scratch, hunted down original Nokia firmwares, extracted the font bitmaps to look as original as possible and also added some extras based on existing glyphs. It was a fun ride.

This is great! Thank you for doing this. I was just expecting a bitmap, not a whole TTF.

Is it legal?
