What?
Home of the world's biggest collection of classic text mode fonts, system fonts and BIOS fonts from DOS-era IBM PCs and compatibles
Pixel-perfect reproductions of the original raster fonts!
TrueType (TTF) and bitmap (FON) remakes for 81 character sets!
Multi-lingual Unicode enhancements of the more popular fonts (and some less-popular ones)!
Multi-platform compatibility!
I can't believe this hasn't been posted here before.
http://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/
I tried to use the IBM/VGA font in vim.
I wish I could stand it.
Any idea which one is good to grill with?
