If anyone is considering using a computer like this, I'd recommend OpenBSD for it which genuinely has one of the prettiest console fonts.

It just ... Looks nicer..

Yes, I'm sure you can configure the others to look nice too but shrug OOTB is pretty nice.

what are the names of the fonts are they using?

i found something here, but i am not sure if these are the right ones: https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/src/share/misc/pcvtfonts?sort=Fil...

Those are fonts you can load with the vga driver. Anything recent will load with the drm driver (intel, amd) or framebuffer. This emulates a text mode (rasops) on a graphical surfaces (vga has dedicated text mode), and for that they use spleen.

And yes, it’s quite nice.

awesome, thank you. i remember vga vs framebuffer, and the time when linux made the switch. i was there, many thousand days ago. i might even have recognized that had those files mentioned vga somewhere in the path or contents.

spleen looks good. i am using gallant right now which is based on the old sparcstation console font: https://github.com/NanoBillion/gallant

I've been wondering if I can somehow get the Toshiba Satellite VGA font back to today.
