Those are fonts you can load with the vga driver. Anything recent will load with the drm driver (intel, amd) or framebuffer. This emulates a text mode (rasops)

And yes, it’s quite nice.
- em-bee 5mo agoawesome, thank you. i remember vga vs framebuffer, and the time when linux made the switch. i was there, many thousand days ago. i might even have recognized that had those files mentioned vga somewhere in the path or contents. spleen looks good. i am using gallant right now which is based on the old sparcstation console font: https://github.com/NanoBillion/gallant https://github.com/NanoBillion/gallant
