Developer: font for fullscreen console in 1024x768

In continuation of the theme fullscreen vs window - dedicated to Linux programmers, nostalgic for the text console since DOS.

I made the font to work in full-screen xterm in video mode 1024x768. Font size 12x24, i.e. at 80 columns there is a strip of 1024-12 * 80 = 64 pixels on the edge, which is inevitable, since 1024 by 80 is not fully divisible. :) Encoding - koi8-r, contains 256 characters. As you understand, the font looks quite large, for it should be so.

In the topic of fullscreen vs window, I lamented that making screenshots of my desktop is pointless to publish. But now, thanks to the “extra” 64 pixels, they have become much more interesting. :-D

The font can be downloaded , the license is public domain.

If it seems to you that the font is too bold, and “catches the eye”, then try setting up “bright” (8-15) xterm colors in ~ / .Xdefaults like this .

PS “Superfluous” 64 pixels on the side is filled with conky .

Update: The font has been adjusted, screenshots updated. Old screenshots are available here . Thank you all for your constructive criticism.
