A comment on Fonts extracted from BIOSes and VGA ROMs.

I remember looking/using at the different non-PC terminals decades ago, produced by different companies, which had significantly nicer fonts than any PC fonts I watched later.

Of course, it's not only the font, but the whole technology (analog devices have analog responses etc). But some looked really nice.

Is there any resource with non-PC terminal fonts?

Get the TTF version of the IBM 3270 fonts (Google 3270 TTF github) and copy the TTF files into ~/.fonts (or whatever method you use in your OS).
