what are the names of the fonts are they using?
replyi 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.
replyspleen 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.
