Easy enough to do if you use the xfont dumper in solaris.

I did.

This is true.  I remained true to the actual console font.

Ray Larabie?

Yeah, it's not the most consistent font, but I like it nonetheless.
The first time I saw a Sun screen I didn't feel like I was looking
at a computer.  It was kind of nice.  So I made the font.  I'll send it
out to those requests I have received as soon as I'm back at home talking
to my system directly rather than through a corporate shared 56 KB link
whose firewall is Gauntlet v1.3 (and thus does not allow direct communi-
cation with 4.4BSD- or Solaris-2.(n>5)-based hosts because something
in the TCP/IP code can't deal with the newer packet format or something
like that...

[I am not getting 56K throughput, certainly!]
