No love for gohu font? (http://font.gohu.org/)

Similarly, Terminus.[1]

It's a fantastic bitmap[2] font and I find that I use it on all my low-DPI screens. I think it reads a little better than gohu, but agreed: there's no love for tiny fonts on OP's link...

Lots of old school fonts aren't available in a format that browsers understand. A TTF version of Terminus is in there though. IIRC there was something wrong with the Gohu font files , I'll have to look if that's fixed nowadays.
