Did you see my freedos-user message about Terminus? (DOS 8x16, normal)

"Terminus Font is a clean, fixed width bitmap font, designed for long (8 and more hours per day) work with computers."

I need to finally package up my build of JED for FreeDOS. It's got fairly good emulation of GNU Emacs and some of its more useful features but with 99% less bloat! ;-) Tags, syntax highlight, compile and jump-to-error, folds, multiple windows, good mouse support, etc. (My build script isn't that complex, so you could probably just build it yourself.)
