Fonts from the past..

I was digging around in /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts, and came across a reference to the old cybercafe font from over twenty years ago.. while the font isn't included in my distro, the readme is still there :

I have created the font.

I think that it is font of the 21st century.

First time it looks unusual.

But later any other font looks wrong.

I made symbols from 0x20..0x7f|0xf0..0xff only.

But I could made complete fonts.

Since "alt" is a symbol encoding, I called this font cybercafe -- aeb

I thought it was oddly poignant given the current circumstances in Ukraine.

Mikhailo, if you're out there, hope you're safe. Thanks for a great font I loved using through the 2000's!
