Hello,

This time I ported (or, more precisely, "repackaged") the fonts from
Ultimate Oldschool PC Font Pack project. These are actually accurate
redraws/rips of IBM PC (and clones) ROM fonts in TrueType form.

Best viewed in 12pt (16px) or 6pt (8px):

More information, preview and technical details:
http://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/readme/

From DESCR:

> Collection of ~180 font files in TrueType formats, resembling the
> original fonts from IBM PC computers and their clones.
> 
> Available in CP437 codepage (Px437 prefix) and some of them covering
> most common Unicode regions (PxPlus prefix).

NOTE: There are also .FON (bitmap fonts) in this archive which can be
converted to PCF/BDF form by some obscure tools, but I didn't packaged
them, because xterm(1) (which might be your first application using
such fonts :) ) already supports Xft(3) and these fonts looks
pixel-accurate with proper sizes, no matter what FreeType knobs you set.

But there's an idea to add them lately as "console fonts" when fcambus@
is done with his pcvt work to remove that ugly Sun-lookalike
default font. We'll see.
