DOS/EGA font
There is a TrueType font (TTF), which is an exact copy of the font used by DOS. I made it using the FontForge software (a nice font editor for Linux). I used the *.CPI fonts bundled with FreeDOS as model. DOS/EGA is encoded in Unicode-BMP, therefore it may be used without any problem on modern, multilingual systems. It supports english, french, polish, german, and probably several other languages. Beside its "retro" value, it's a great replacement to the oldish "fixedsys" font (which is not compliant to Unicode anyway).
