@cg123: I like the font. Is this a font used by your OS? Or it is a font used by Bochs for text mode?

I think it's the default font for terminal emulators such as xterm. I don't know how one tells bochs to use xterm as a screen, though.

Says "cross platform" but in precompiled bochs for win32 doesn't work.

Awesome, thanks! I've been looking for a windows version of that font!

Does anyone have a utility to edit VGA/bitmap fonts?

Does anyone know of a good free font editor (read: not FontForge, and not nagware/trial) for Windows? I abhor FontForge's UI and controls, and when I look at a font I make in the Windows font viewer it always cuts off the tails and descenders of the fallback font due to misalignment.
If there are none, where can I read up on the OpenType file format? Edit: Found the MSDN OpenType page
here.

MegaZeux can do that, but you'll have some trouble breaking your custom fonts out of that program.

I have found a nice VGA font editor:
Raster Font Editor.
Supports fixed/variable fonts, can import VGA 8x8/8x16 fonts, TTF fonts, etc...

I use
this one for my kernels font. Kind of limited, but is free and easy to use. Bitmap fonts only.

I use FontForge for TrueType fonts. Really neat and open source. Look it up.
