[Icky]

Found this cool retro terminal on GitHub available for MacOS and Linux. It can even be configured to an Atari ST look and feel.

Or you can download my truetype/opentype font and use it. Antialias gives best results, the pixel perfect rendering only works in FontForge because of rounding errors of each engine.

Edit : you can also use it as the default font for the desktop theme.

I've been using the ST high-res font on all my machines under The X Windowing System since STonX was released in the early 90s.

Unfortunately more and more X display servers have bitmap fonts disabled by default now.

Nice, I'll have to get that for my Mac when I can be bothered to compile it

Just downloaded and I love the default amber screen view on it

I wonder if they'll compile it for Apple Silicon, as I can't be bothered to recompile

Runs fine under Rosetta though.

Full screen on my MBP M1 Pro:
