My opinion: whatever is most readable on a TV! :D

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

I'm for C, the bold text. Readability is king, IMO. The spacing looks better on it as well.

By the way... if the Cosmic Fantasy 2 and Ys fonts were readable on a real TV... any one of these will be as well.

The latest two look dumb.  Too "lol coloring book!" for me.

But didn't CF and Ys use black backgrounds?

yes. and that is where the difference lies.

It's been proven that blue backgrounds w/ white text or black text on yellow backgrounds are the easiest to read.

It's obvious that white + blue is a better choice to stare at though.

At first I didn't like the newest two fonts added (D) & (E). But, actually, they aren't that bad... and (D) has more flair than (E), if I had to choose between the two. I think I prefer (D) over (C), even.

(B) is best.

I still say C. C is the easiest to read without looking ugly. Since you have decided to use a patterned text box, I'd say C is your best bet. If you opt, instead, for a solid or gradient text box you would still need to fix some of the weird spacing issues with A or B.

C is going to be the easiest to read in general; it's nothing more than the standard DOS font. It was designed to be functional rather than stylish.
