A lot more information here, including how the phosphor decay is part of the font and you won't get the right appearance if you don't take it into account: <a href="https://www.masswerk.at/nowgobang/2019/dec-crt-typography" rel="nofollow">https://www.masswerk.at/nowgobang/2019/dec-crt-typography</a>
My formative years at uni were spent on VT320s, the smell of hot dust on CRT, the tick, tick, key click sound, the subtle off-white colouring, the tasteful thickness of it…
MAME will actually emulate a VT240.<p>We spend a bundle, both on Charon VAX emulation and Bluezone Rocket terminal emulation. We used to run the Reflections terminal emulator, but that is up to $500/seat.<p>I was actually looking for a functional UTS-20 emulator for our OS2200, but that is another story.<p>MAME will tie the rs232 to an outgoing socket, and I ran it over stunnel to login to my VAX VMS.<p>It was a really slow Friday.

I used to love this font but the fake scanline effect was eyehurty after a while. DEC Terminal Modern is the same font with a nice vector look that won't interfere with the scanlines when you use it in cool-retro-term.
Here's how to do the same thing in Fontforge (with .otf file ready for download) <a href="https://gist.github.com/epilys/95869773037d3d2235d324bd5a0484e5" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/epilys/95869773037d3d2235d324bd5a048...</a>
I built it into a package for arch AUR, then when I loooked at it, I have to agree. The scan lines built into the font are not desirable.<p>I installed the DEC Terminal Modern package 8-/<p>Cool notes on the rendering process by the author though...
