Title: Beautiful BIOS Fonts
Post by: RhoSigma on January 25, 2021, 02:42:17 am
Hi there,

just want to bring this fonts collection back to your attention https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/fontlist/

It got several updates with lots of new fonts since it was last mentioned here on the forum back in early 2018.

As a pearl in  there I'd also like to point you to this one https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/fontlist/?4#robotron

It's my new favorite for now, as it brings back a lot of memories. The Robotron A7100 was the first computer I ever had access to back in school (1985), when I was still behind the wall and never dreamed of, that I once in a time would be able to play and have fun with the rest of the world.
The A7100 was made in the GDR (former East Germany) with mostly soviet electronics components, as far as I remember it was also the first 16bit machine made in the communist east block.
Have a look on that machine at Google: https://www.google.de/search?q=Robotron+A7100&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiw8LLqybbuAhVOWysKHRoWC68Q_AUoAnoECA0QBA&biw=1024&bih=631

Finally the download page for the new font collection:

Thank you for sharing this, @RhoSigma. I had the hardest time coming up with a decent looking cp437 font for my IDE, and still not satisfied with what it is using. 

These are nice looking ones....
