[Solved] Which font is present in arch linux on first boot?
I want to use the font present in arch linux.
This is the default font that is seen on booting iso or a newly installed system without DE.
Can I use it in a DE or document?
Thanks

To expand on what I believe jwr meant: Fixed-width font. Choose one that appeals.

I knew it was monospace. I want exact same font.
How can I extract it from the system?
Or link me to the original font?
It has a dot inside zero.
The developers must know which font they used!

If you want some nice looking and easy to tell glyphs apart monospaced fonts then see these:

You can find Arch-specific packages in the AUR.

@headkase Thanks. I liked those fonts.
The font on arch linux default interface is a CP437 character set bitmap font which can be found easily by Google.
