It does not get any more vintage than fixedsys font, but nerd-font patching it seems to be challenging: https://github.com/kika/fixedsys/issues/36

I had this font (Fixedsys Excelsior) set as my Windows 10 system font for years on my desktop. I let my partner use it and for some reason, he tried to change it to another font (A-OTF Shin Go Pro) using this tutorial (said he couldn't read it).

The best font! Fixedsys Excelsior is the variant I use now. The site it was originally hosted on is gone, but you can download the ttf here.

typeface & map_typeface = Pixel Operator https://notabug.org/HarvettFox96/ttf-pixeloperator with overmap_typeface = Topaz-8 https://fonts2u.com/topaz-8.font OR all three = Fixedsys Excelsior https://github.com/kika/fixedsys depending on my mood.

digging deeper, seems as if someone already has patched it (haven't tried the font yet): https://github.com/delinx/Fixedsys-Modern/releases/tag/v5

Yeah, I know the pain... my favourite font of all time is fixedsys Excelsior, it has thicker vertical lines than horizontal lines, but it is bitmap so it does not work on higher res screens. I could never find a monospace font with the same property... and god, I tried for days. I know nothing about fonts, yet out of desperation, I even tried to make my own font (crazy for someone who has no idea how to make one or how to do vector properly) , Fixedsys Modern, and it is an improvement, but all the little things about hinting and stuff, things beyond my understanding, make it work only in 90% of cases, I could never get it to look just right. I still silently hope someone who knows what they are doing remakes that font.
