That font in the screen shot looks quite similar to Terminus Font[1]. If the bitmap version does not work then there is also a TTF version[2] of Terminus that works quite well.
It's one of my all time favorite fonts[3].

I created all of the original MGR bitmap fonts by hand - a pixel at a time. For much of its life MGR ran on monochrome (1 bit per pixel) bitmap displays, that tend to look more crisp than modern anti-aliased displays
The font is called Gacha.
I really enjoy how crisp and legible fonts and graphics are in that screenshot. Even the tiny terminal in the upper left is very clear. Achieving that in X was always an exercise in frustration IME, involving some obscure fontconfig incantations and specific bitmap fonts. Ultimately I couldn't live without font hinting, but there's something so appealing about that crisp bitmap look.
