Hello,
This isn't very related to Vim, but I found this font on Vim's wikipedia
webpage:

Can anyone identify this font for me? It looks very good for programming.
Thank you very much,
That's the 80x25 font cooked into the PC ROM-BIOS.
To use it on Windows: open a Dos Box, then select Alt-Space => Properties
Select 80 columns, 25 lines and "Full screen" display.
On Linux: hit Ctrl-Alt-Fn (with n in the range [1..6]), then log in with
username and password.
I don't think that font is available on Motorola Macs (including Power PCs).
It may or may not be available in Intel Macs but I don't know how to get at
it. Maybe the same way on OS X as on Linux above, I'm not sure.
In both cases, you can then invoke Vim as "vim" (not "gvim"). For Windows,
you'll need a console version (compiled as "vim.exe") for that. On Linux, a
single binary can do double duty as Console Vim and as gvim GUI.
Best regards,
Tony.
