The Ultimate Oldschool PC Font Pack started out with
the idea of paying tribute to ancient PCs and their bitmapped, pre-GUI
typography (if you can call it that). It was inspired by similar
efforts that cover other vintage machines: classic system fonts from the
Amiga, C64, Apple II, Mac, ZX Spectrum, Atari 8-bit/ST etc. are all
celebrated. On the other hand, the IBM PC and its clones seem to get
little love... except for that one VGA text mode font (which has been
remade numerous times, to varying degrees of success).
This collection is here to remedy that, and to bring you pixel-perfect
remakes of various type styles from text-mode era PCs - in modern,
multi-platform, Unicode-compatible TrueType form (plus straight bitmap
versions).
Although the goal is to make it a complete resource, the main focus is
on hardware character sets: the kind that's located in a
ROM chip on the system board or graphics card, which is what you'd see
by default when working in text (or graphics) mode. Software-loadable
fonts are also within the scope of this collection (if associated with a
particular machine or display system), so some of these have also made
it in.
