Using IBM Fonts

There is something deeply nostalgic and comforting about the old IBM VGA font. Probably because it's one of the earliest things you see when messing with computers and I think the console for Linux uses/used it.

I got the font pack from The Oldschool PC Font Resource which was quite a happy find.

I added the woff file as a font face to my blog and I'm now happily pretending that my site is being viewed on something ancient.

@font-face {
   font-family: "ibm";
   src: url("/images/Web437_IBM_VGA_9x16.woff") format("woff");
}
body { 
   font-family: "ibm";
   font-size: 18px;
   color: #aaa;
   background-color: black;
}
