how well did it work?

It was a little slow. No text cut and paste. The baud rate actually has to be set correctly in the firmware before the connection works. The command line to invoke for the IP address 1.2.3.4 port 23 is: mame -rp . vt240 -window -nothrottle -host null_modem -bitb socket.1.2.3.4:23 These are some useful articles that I read in getting it working. http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/dec/terminal/ https://github.com/larsbrinkho…

very neat. thank you.

Nah, it's good for all sizes. The glyphs have been completely vectorized.

Doesn't work in Terminal on macOS. It only displays bordered-questionmarks instead of glyphs. On the webpage, it does look like a nice font, though.

I may have grabbed it from a different place, but I remember this font working well in iTerm under macOS.

De Anza College in the early 1990s--we had quite a few VT220s. Super nostalgia...

The source site at vtxemu.com has been squatted though :( Any other source to download it?

On the site linked above, over on the right-hand side of the page there's a "download" button that still works.

Thank you! Got it now.
