I built it because I felt\nterminals deserve to be pretty. The .sfd font file contains a x3270\nbitmap font that was used for guidance.\n\n![Using with the cool-old-tern (now cool-retro-term) terminal program](\nhttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/rbanffy/3270font/cool-retro-term.png)\n\nGetting it\n----------\n\nIf you are running Debian or Ubuntu and you don\u0027t want to mess with\nbuilding your font files, you can simply `apt-get install fonts-3270`\n(It\u0027s available from the Debian\n(https://packages.debian.org/sid/fonts/fonts-3270) and Ubuntu\n(http://packages.ubuntu.com/impish/fonts-3270) package repos at\nhttps://packages.debian.org/sid/fonts/fonts-3270 and\nhttps://packages.ubuntu.com/impish/fonts/fonts-3270, although the\npackaged version may not be the latest version, but it\u0027s good enough for\nmost purposes.\n\nOn FreeBSD the font can be installed with `pkg install 3270font`.\n\nFor those who don\u0027t have the luxury of a proper system-managed package,\nAdobe Type 1, TTF, OTF and WOFF versions are available for download on\nhttps://3270font.s3.amazonaws.com/3270_fonts_d916271.zip (although this\nURL may not always reflect the latest build or release).\n\n![ASCII is so 60\u0027s](\nhttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/rbanffy/3270font/cyrillic.png)\n\nThe format\n----------\n\nThe \"source\" file is edited using FontForge.
