I think Perfect DOS VGA 437 Win would be a perfect font for this program. Perfect DOS VGA 437 is also good, I think the old difference is that Perfect DOS VGA 437 Win has more glyphs. These fonts look like the font BIOS uses.

The fonts in /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/ could also nice, you can use the nafe package to convert them to text, and then it should be fairly simple to render them. These are the fonts you can choose from the TTY.

Thank you, that's a nice idea. I didn't notice that Perfect DOS VGA Win was actually better. The idea of having new fonts is really intriguing.

Sinclair ZX Spectrum font could be a nice font. Also, we could try the Trillek virtual computer default font here
