Chess Tepoztlan is an OFL licensed font suitable for making Chess diagrams.
To use, install the ChessTepoztlan.ttf file in one’s operating
system.
Here is a diagram made with the font:
There is some support for fairy chess pieces.
Note that this font is also available with a different license at the following location:
https://github.com/samboy/ChessGraphics
- A is a white upsidedown bishop
- S is a black upsidedown bishop
- D is a white rook + knight fairy piece
- F is a black rook + knight fairy piece
- G is a white upsidedown knight
- H is a black upsidedown knight
- P is a white pawn
- O (the letter) is a black pawn
- RNBQK are the expected white pieces (as per English algebraic notation)
- TMVWL are the corresponding black pieces
- A
+is an empty black square - A
Note that the mapping is (generally) compatible with Chess Merida and Armando Hernandez Marroquin’s other excellent freeware Chess fonts.
Uppercase pieces are on black squares; lowercase pieces are on white squares.
The following text looks like the starting position for Modern Carrera Chess (where an upsidedown bishop also has the knight’s move, and the piece which is a knight with rook is the rook + knight piece) in the ChessTepoztlan font:

Note that the font works best on a QWERTY keyboard (since the corresponding
black piece is next to the white piece; e.g. V is a black bishop where
B is a white bishop). Uppercase is a dark square; lower case is a
light square.
