  Looks awesome! Not sure if I agree with the pixelated font. Didn't Windows 2000 use Tahoma?

    Thanks for the comment :) Back when I developed this, I did take a look at using a a websafe Tahoma, but it didn't quite sit right. I guess it was a cleaner, more modern take on Tahoma to accommodate better screen resolutions. There were instances of pixelated text on Windows 2000, but not sure that it was used everywhere https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/windows/images/8/8e/Win2000.png/revision/latest?cb=20220919165719 https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/windows/images/8/8e/Win200... Edit: Added a thank you!

    I think the font is just right. In fact, I've been looking for a retro component kit that doesn't just use a modern font. I feel that the modern font rendering ruins the immersion.
