Can you detail your Mac setup a bit? I've tried out these fonts, but end up struggling to get the right size, and disabling antialiasing makes things look pretty ugly.
- arnarbi 9y agoSure! I miswrote VGA16, it's actually VGA8. I'm on a retina display, and set the size to 16pt. I do have anti-alias disabled in e.g. iTerm2, but visually it makes no difference. In iTerm2 I disable "Draw bold text in bold font". For vim I use MacVim sometimes, which hash gfn=PxPlus IBM VGA8:h16. Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/TBuS4 https://imgur.com/a/TBuS4
- steeef 9y agoAh, that's the kicker. Looks great on my MBP's built-in retina display, but crap on my older external monitors. So far the only font I've been able to use on those without anti-aliasing is Monaco.
