All sorts of problems installing this on OSX; to be fair, the process for installing fonts on OSX is horrible anyway, but there are still errors. Edit: I don't know why this got downvoted; if there's a way in which you want me to alter it to be more acceptable, please let me know.

`brew cask install font-hack` works great :)

Sorry, but nothing beats the good old IBM 3270 font. https://github.com/rbanffy/3270font

I humbly beg to differ. This is the terminal and editor font I use: http://www.dafont.com/nouveau-ibm.font

Oh no! Not the MDA font! ;-)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I see your mainframe and raise you a dec mini running UNIX http://www.sensi.org/~svo/glasstty/

... admittedly not great for small sizes due to the striping, but awesome for a relazing at a big giant terminal window and doing various simple things.

Try this one: http://www.dafont.com/dec-terminal-modern.font

Comparison page with quite a few programming fonts, Hack among them: http://s9w.github.io/font_compare/

I really need to update that thing also, this is a later version: http://www.s9w.io/font_compare/

I love this--but no Monaco?

Honest question here, does anyone else have no idea what font they are using in their text editor? I use emacs, and don't have a clue as to what font I'm using. It's monospace, and that's about all that matters to me. As long as I can tell the difference between I, 1 and l - I really couldn't care less.

Dejavu Sans Mono.

For some reason, I've typed it out in a few files, such as my Emacs init and .Xresources.
