Typography in 16 bits: System fonts (2011) (damieng.com)

The PC VGA font is one of my favourite, with second choice being the X default fixed fonts. For some reason newer GPUs tend to have a different textmode font that often looks worse; I remember encountering a laptop with one that looked like a mix of Courier New and Comic Sans.


Nice find. These would be useful to make things look retro. The PC VGA is a classic, and I've always wondered what Chicago would look like on Windows.
