The Ultimate Oldschool PC Font Pack

Unread post by a-109-107 » Thu Feb 04, 2016 1:02 pm

What?

Image
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?

Absolutely brilliant site, hmm never ever heard of it either, but definately bookmarked !
Only looked at page 1 as well, that font "Wyse700b" is sweet. Will play arround all weekend with this for sure. As I am sure most of you grillers will too :)
