[–] theandrewbailey 1y ago ↗ Looks awesome!Not sure if I agree with the pixelated font. Didn't Windows 2000 use Tahoma? [–] andrico 1y ago ↗ Thanks for the comment :)Back when I developed this, I did take a look at using a a websafe Tahoma, but it didn't quite sit right.I guess it was a cleaner, more modern take on Tahoma to accommodate better screen resolutions.There were instances of pixelated text on Windows 2000, but not sure that it was used everywherehttps://static.wikia.nocookie.net/windows/images/8/8e/Win200...Edit: Added a thank you! [–] graysonpike 1y ago ↗ I think the font is just right. In fact, I've been looking for a retro component kit that doesn't just use a modern font. I feel that the modern font rendering ruins the immersion.
