CP437 (ascii) fonts.
« on: July 23, 2017, 09:33:59 am »

I don't know if anyone ever posted this, but I thought it was nice:

http://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/fontlist/

Basically, it is a TTF collection of fonts that are designed to look like the old school bitmap fonts as used by various computers. I figured that might be useful for people who'd want to make df style annotations in the right font type :)

If I am not mistaken Dwarf Fortress uses IBM VGA8.

Note that the DF default tileset is a bit different from Code Page 437.

Speaking of which, is there a recommended TTF font for playing DF in the terminal (on Linux)?
