Hello!
Anybody has a good mono retro-based font that's suitable for terminal windows?
I was looking at http://christopoulos.users.sourceforge.net/fixed167/ but I can't, for the life of me, convert it to something windows-compatible... :(
Cheers!

Have you installed Fontforge and created a TT Font from the files?
Bryce.
Yup, all the fonts I've created (ttf/otf) are empty... no idea what I'm doing wrong.
Latest Cygwin installed correctly? (I assume you're doing this on windows).
Bryce.
Doesn't ask for Cygwin... nor does it say anything about it on their page. Pleas tell me I haven't been hitting my head against a wall for hours on end?
I was able to convert it to TTF using https://github.com/ali1234/bitmap2ttf. I've attached here the result.
EDIT: after testing it more thoroughly, the result is not very good, it looks hideous :-(
I was about to point out that the font is a bitmat font while ttf fonts are vector fonts.
If there's no easy way to vectorize it, you're out of luck.
Even a bitmap font could work with some programs. But of course you can trace it and produce a good ttf font, too. Which I did, with FF, and the vectors it produced had so little resolution that it looked nothing like the original :D
Anyhow, anyone knows of something else that looks good, practical and retro?

How do I import you to XShell, then?
Have you tried setting up a telnet session to me?

Got your ppk key?
Go for Putty.
