Fonts extracted from BIOSes and VGA ROMs

Over the past few weeks, I've been setting all my command prompts and terminal emulators to old-school fonts. I've settled on PxPlus IBM VGA8[0] with color #FFB000 (monochrome amber) on black. If font antialiasing blurs things, I use Nouveau IBM[1].

For years now I've set the font in various IDEs and terminals to Px437 ATI 9x16 at font size 16 from int10h as well: https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/fontlist/#ati_gfx I love the pixel perfect goodness.

Same. It’s very comforting to be using that font.

A website dedicated to Int 10h?! That’s beautiful!
