Snow Drift contains unused green coloured font. Notably, this font exists for only four characters, all of which are symbols and not letters, and none of which have a Snow Drift counterpart. An image using this font exists for backward slash, forward slash, equal sign, a starting quotation mark, a left bracket and right bracket. This unused font (along with another unused font) is present also in Go Go UFO.
