Homepage: https://github.com/rbanffy/3270font
Description-en: monospaced font based on IBM 3270 terminals
This font is derived from the x3270 font, which, in turn, was translated
from the one in Georgia Tech's 3270tool, which was itself hand-copied
from a 3270 terminal.
.
While looking reasonably close to its bitmap ancestors, this is a vector
font that looks good at any size. Its recommended use is, obviously, a
text terminal, same as nearly half a century ago.
