That's exactly what it was. After I wrote that I went into the stylesheet and disabled the custom font. It worked a treat.

I sent patch to fix this to the maintainer.

  What was the fix? If it was the name of a specific fixed-width font, you should add "monospace" as the final alternative for the CSS. This allows the browser to pick a suitable font among the ones present on the client machine. (For a list of the other generic font family names to use in other instances, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/font-family https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/font-family)

Man I am telling you, get this font. It is a 100% clone of the actual vt220 font, and therefore is the ultimate in green-screen retro awesomeness. Basically, by getting this font and using it (esp on a BSD) you have the original 'theme' for the Unix CLI, since pretty much everyone (yes being hyperbolic) used real UNIX (or 'BSD UNIX' as it was called before the suit) on VAX with DEC terminals around this time when most of the core CLI tools that make up the core of the system to this day were being developed.. Things just look 'right'. As a vt220 owner and amateur Unixologist, I am very glad for this font. http://asdasd.rpg.fi/~svo/glasstty http://asdasd.rpg.fi/~svo/glasstty

  That's quite nice actually! Here's what HN looks like in w3m with GlassTTY http://i.imgur.com/3Mq6omo.png http://i.imgur.com/3Mq6omo.png

  Mike Koss wrote an Apple ][ terminal emulator called "The Terminal" in 1981 that displayed 70 columns by 32 rows on the 270 x 192 pixel hires screen in a 3x5 font he designed. That's how I viewed ITS, Unix and the ARPANET for many years, until I finally got an 80 column card. squint I bet that could font could show the whole map on one page! https://web.archive.org/web/20120206091422/http://mckoss.com/jscript/tinyalice.htm https://web.archive.org/web/20120206091422/http://mckoss.com...

  Can it be achieved in .pcf format?

  I am glad I am not the only one who felt this. I immediately thought 'ooh what font is this? it's better than other VT220 fonts I've seen' - looked in the css, got the url, and um, stole, it :)
