Some Digital Equipment Corporation () terminal history...

This first part oddly enough arriving via an iOS development newsletter, Dave Verwer's iOS Dev Weekly...

Here is a TrueType font simulating the DEC font:

For those further interested in this old fonts topic, there's a copy of the actual DEC VT terminal fonts extracted from the DEC VT terminal firmware embedded in the terminal emulator package.

VTstar was a port of the DEC VT terminal firmware to a (now ancient) version of and built as a terminal emulator.

It is for this reason a quite accurate emulation of a DEC VT terminal.

There's a copy of VTstar (alas, binary only) included on the Freeware from many years ago:
