Hey there,

as per this rule: 

1. You cannot use art, sound, or code made before the jam.

Are we allowed to use fonts from elsewhere?   And if so, anybody have any good suggestions for low res nes-ish fonts?

Pixel Emulator is a good font. http://www.fontspace.com/pixel-sagas/pixel-emulator

It was stated that you may use fair use content made by other people, which includes fonts.

What if I use "Arial"?

I´ll not use any artistic font and of course I´ll not create my own.

So... it´s ok "Arial" or any other standar font?
