I used to love this font but the fake scanline effect was eyehurty after a while. DEC Terminal Modern is the same font with a nice vector look that won't interfere with the scanlines when you use it in cool-retro-term.

Does this have any particular size it's supposed to be used at?

Nah, it's good for all sizes. The glyphs have been completely vectorized.

Doesn't work in Terminal on macOS. It only displays bordered-questionmarks instead of glyphs. On the webpage, it does look like a nice font, though.
I may have grabbed it from a different place, but I remember this font working well in iTerm under macOS.

The source site at vtxemu.com has been squatted though :( Any other source to download it?

On the site linked above, over on the right-hand side of the page there's a "download" button that still works.
I have a _decterm.ttf that is larger (237400 bytes) and newer (Mar 29 2019) than the one at dafont.com, but do not remember where I got it from.
