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
