| Summary : The Ultimate Oldschool PC Font Pack
|
Description :
The Ultimate Oldschool PC Font Pack started out with the idea of paying
tribute to ancient PCs and their bitmapped, pre-GUI typography (if you can
call it that). It was inspired by similar efforts that cover other vintage
machines: classic system fonts from the Amiga, C64, Apple II, Mac,
ZX Spectrum, Atari 8-bit/ST etc. are all celebrated. On the other hand, the
IBM PC and its clones seem to get little love... except for that one VGA text
mode font (which has been remade numerous times, to varying degrees of
success).
This collection is here to remedy that, and to bring you pixel-perfect
remakes of various type styles from text-mode era PCs - in modern,
multi-platform, Unicode-compatible TrueType form (plus straight bitmap
versions).
Although the goal is to make it a complete resource, the main focus is on
hardware character sets: the kind that\'s located in a ROM chip on the system
board or graphics card, which is what you\'d see by default when working in
text (or graphics) mode. Software-loadable fonts are also within the scope of
this collection (if associated with a particular machine or display system),
so some of these have also made it in.
