  1. The ASCII TTF font. The source of this file is: http://www.apollosoft.de/ASCII/indexen.htm however the TTF I linked is all you need.
  2. My pre-configured Terminal Profile

[edit] Setup Procedure

  2. Open up Terminal.app
  3. Open up the settings dialog(Command + ,)
  4. At the lower left of the dialog click Gear icon and select Import...
  5. Locate the ansi.terminal file you downloaded and import it
  6. Click on the new ansi profile and make sure the font is set to ASCII 11pt.. If its not you might want to: remove the profile, quit terminal, and try again.
