yell at me all you want, you know what I mean.

"DON'T CALL THE SKY BLUE, SCIENTIFICALLY IT HAS A CERTAIN WAVELENGTH WHICH YOU TOTALLY IGNORE"



I'm not yelling at you, and I genuinely don't know what you mean. Are you simply saying you really like Profont? It's been discussed (along with several other programmers fonts) several times over the years here at HN. I'm not being pedantic, I'm just confused why you believe Profont has any relation to 8 bit system typefaces.

This is an article about history of typefaces on early personal computers. That's a cool thing to read about. There have been similarly interesting articles about programmers fonts, and I tend to read those, too. But, it's OK for us to discuss one without pulling the other into the discussion. It's simply a non-sequiter.
