3270font is a monospaced font derived from the IBM 3270 series terminal typeface, distributed in TTF, OTF, WOFF, and Type 1 formats. Its source is a FontForge .sfd file with build scripts to generate font files for various platforms.
Use cases
- make my terminal look like an old IBM mainframe terminal
- find a nostalgic monospaced programming font
- install a retro terminal font on Debian or Ubuntu
- use a 3270-style font in my code editor
- generate TTF and OTF files from a FontForge source font
- get a vintage mainframe font for cool-retro-term
When to choose
- you want a retro IBM 3270-style monospaced font for terminals or editors
- you need a font available in multiple formats (TTF, OTF, WOFF, Type 1)
- you want a font packaged in Debian, Ubuntu, or FreeBSD repos
When to avoid
- you need a modern, highly-hinted font for small UI text
- you want a variable or proportional font
- you need a font with extensive non-Latin glyph coverage beyond what it ships
