100% the same problem here.

I have to show people extremely zoomed-in screenshots of how $VENDOR default monospaced fonts get rendered compared to Terminus at the correct size in order for them to understand my pain. The hinting is just blurry bleh.

These days, because I am also old, I want a comparatively large pixel-perfect font. I've yet to find a good one but haven't looked much beyond Terminus honestly. Maybe I can render it an acceptable integer multiple without it being too large?



For Linux and *BSD, UW ttyp0 (v2.1) goes up to 18x40px. Greybeard is essentially UW ttyp0 ported to Windows, but since it's based on UW ttyp0 v1.3, the largest bitmap size is only 11x22px.
