The reason these fonts didn’t get much love is because growing up on ATARI ST’s, Commodore 64’s, Amigas and ZX Spectrums, the PC tin-bucket and his ugly fonts were synonymous with an overpriced, slow, loud, power hungry computer with extremely bad, inelegant hardware with vastly inferior capabilities. The PC bucket is and remains the butt of jokes to anyone who grew up on the non—IBM computers from the era or used real UNIX hardware.
When will we see those beatiful Sun OpenBoot PROM and sgi workstation firmware fonts remade as TTF’s? Much nicer to look at those.
The IBM terminals were a totally different story. A sans-serif, simple and elegant design, modern and yet timeless.
