IBM had a really good font I liked circa 1991, and I'd love to be able to find it. Does anyone know what this font was? It was a serif font that was (I think) the default terminal font on the RS/6000 at the time. (Or at least it was on the machines we had at the University of Michigan.) The machine I used did not appear to be running XWindows. It looked like a terminal emulator to me. Anyone know what font that was? I think it may have been mono-spaced, but I'm not positive. I was using it for writing code.

Maybe one of these? https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/fontlist/ https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/fontlist/

  Oh wow! Thanks for the link! I don't see it on there, but that list is for PC fonts, and this was a Unix workstation. I think it may have actually been antialiased, though I can't say for sure.

    Any chance it was an IBM terminal? Looks like it was common for units like the 3151 to be connected to RS/6000 systems: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:IBM_3151_terminal.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:IBM_3151_terminal.jp...

      Doesn’t look like it. That’s a sans-serif font, and the one I’m looking for is a serif font.
