Many of those are free for commercial use. Check the license information for each font and contact the author if you're unsure.

Thanks, I ended up finding an online font creator so I made a basic one, It serves my purpose feel free to use if anyone!

It contains only lowercase letters and doesn't include Numbers.

Basically you select a character from the map at the top. Than you draw what you want it to look like, then just do the same for the rest. Have fun. :)

I don't think it's hard to read, though I made it, so I'm probably just seeing what I want to see. That being said, It's meant to be the smallest text that can be created and still legible.

I tried that once. Did not turn out well. (I suck at pixel art. :( )

Yea, I primarily made this to be double it's size. I wouldn't actually use this font at its default 10px size, I would zoom 1 level in Photoshop so that it looks like large pixelated text.
