I'm still searching for Sperry terminal fonts. Not from the rebadged Leading Edge machines, but from real Sperry terms.

  Do you have any example? I tried to duck "Sperry Font" images. Found "Cholo Sperry". Is it this? https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Sperry+fonts&iar=images&iax=images&ia=images&iai=https%3A%2F%2Fimgs3.fontbrain.com%2Fimgs%2Fd6%2F87%2F91b9333eb1e35341c26d8029cb95%2Fsa-720x400.png https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Sperry+fonts&iar=images&iax=images... EDIT: Please ignore above, I searched for "Sperry Terminal", and found these. Yes, I remember the fonts from like 30 years ago. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=sperry+terminal&iar=images&iax=images&ia=images&iai=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn8.bigcommerce.com%2Fs-a1x7hg2jgk%2Fimages%2Fstencil%2F1280x1280%2Fproducts%2F594%2F4518%2Fsperry-computer-terminal-t3612-00-svt-1120-22.11__49234.1489914559.jpg%3Fc%3D2%3Fimbypass%3Don https://duckduckgo.com/?q=sperry+terminal&iar=images&iax=ima...

    Sample of Sperry Univac UTS-20 font (1981) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVR6fLJ5WJY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVR6fLJ5WJY Operational Manual: https://archive.org/details/bitsavers_univactermTS20SingleStationOperatorsGuideJun81_6420090/page/n55/mode/2up https://archive.org/details/bitsavers_univactermTS20SingleSt... Maybe get one from eBay and dump its ROM.

      If you could only blow up page 7 and map out the characters. https://archive.org/download/bitsavers_univactermTS20SingleStationSystemDescriptionApr83_2923485/UP-9134r2_UTS_20_Single_Station_System_Description_Apr83.pdf https://archive.org/download/bitsavers_univactermTS20SingleS...

        The reticule of the printer ruins it. I had more success digging into MAME ROMs. There may be something that'll help you. If not, someone should dump the chargen ROM of one of those. It's too bad the Computer History Museum has a strict policy of not messing with the articles.

      The font was dumped (with some possible bit-rot) and the UTS-10 and UTS-20 terminals are emulated in MAME, which is how the video was generated. See if you can find those files: https://github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/master/src/mame/drivers/univac.cpp#L649-L673 https://github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/master/src/mame/drivers... When you do, let me know. I'm curious.

  Whilst I were 370 system admin (db2 and mac/Xia plus vse) I did my Sir/dbms on sperry 1100 earlier. The ibm green terminal in those era display Music is no comparison. And much better than the Pdp-11 Watfor ... all better than icl. But when really do ibm those 3270 sna with ispf is still quite a difference especially the keyboard.
