There is a VGA font that's been adapted for X, which comes with
dosemu. To try them,
download the source code for dosemu-1.4.0 and install the files matching
dosemu-1.4.0/etc/vga*.bdf
in your
fonts/local directory. (You may need
mkfontdir(1) and "
xset(1) fp rehash".)
Just for fun I once made a terminal that uses them with this command:
% xterm -fn vga -geom 84x42+168+21 -bg black -fg gray80 -cr purple -selbg snow2 -selfg royalblue3 +sb -ls -T "`whoami` : term2@$HOST" -n term2 &
The PC VGA font has limitations on the character set, so you'll likely have more luck with something like terminus in the long run. Not to mention that this is a hack job unsupported by the developers.
