Actually, while on nostalgia lane, does anyone else remember the font called Boston II? It was a shareware font that was the best ImageWriter bitmap font ever. It was a thing of beauty. I've looked for it occasionally, but I haven't found any web references for it.


A bit of Googling got me this:

gopher://gopher.floodgap.com/1/archive/userserve-ucsd-edu/Fonts/%20bitmapped%20fonts/screen-ImageWriter%20Fonts/Boston%20II

Hopefully that's what you're looking for :)


Wow, I'm impressed with your Google skills. Gopher? That's so funny. Now I just have to figure out how to convert it to something usable.


Whoa. I've not seen a gopher link since the 90's. What connects to that protocol these days?


Any browser, if you use a gateway: http://gopher.floodgap.com/gopher/gw?a=gopher%3A%2F%2Fgopher...


The OverbiteFF extension (http://gopher.floodgap.com/overbite/) will let you use the gopher protocol as well. I actually installed it just so I could browse the floodgap gopher server.


cURL can handle gopher. I was actually surprised Firefox couldn't. I guess they removed it at a some point.
