I'm an old school person who prefers above all other bitmapped, mono- spaced fonts, the original IBM PC bios character set that we all knew and loved on our green monitors. The VGA version of this font has been reproduced faithfully as the console8x16 font on my Fedora machines. Even at 1600x1200 it is quite readable and has good contrast.
