The IBM VGA8 sent me into a funk of nostalgia not only for the early 90s, when a trusty 386 was my best and only friend, but also for 99+, when my first forays into Linux forever cemented the default console font in my visual memory.
This is my terminal font now, and I don't care what anyone says.
- endgame 9y agoOh good, it's not just me. I've set it as my default font for emacs, terminal and window manager, and it's really great watching people get all nostalgic when they visit my desk. (Though I'm on PxPlus VGA9.)
- acheron 9y agoHa, yes, I've done this too over the past year. Including on isolated networks where transferring things from the Internet is mildly complicated, but I gotta have my PxPlus VGA9. It is amazing how comforting it is to use that font. It's not the first one I encountered certainly, but it was there for what seems like a long time, and for many formative experiences, I guess.
