The 8 year old computer takes 5 minutes to seek & 1 second to render each frame, but most striking in the latest PR video is the laptops giving way to phones & hot pixels.

Finally tracked down the Sun bootloader font from many decades ago & put it in Cinelerra as gallant12x22. Put Sun Gallant Demi into the goog to get useful results. https://github.com/dim13/gallant/tree/master/ttf It's a fixed point font in an archaic format. Some guy converted it into a TTF with a lot of antialiasing. He has a PNG image showing no antialiasing. It has to be set to size 22 & requires a threshold to get rid of the antialiasing. Freetype might be shifting it 1/2 pixel vertically. It had a kind of curiosity value, but lions have had no need for any fixed point fonts besides the 24pt Sony of CAEDM fame. Another hit said it was 1 of the fonts available in kernel framebuffer mode. Lions haven't used kernel framebuffer mode in decades. It could possibly replace 24pt Sony if lions wrote a fixed point converter. As for the other Sun lore, there's some potato cam footage of the Sun flight simulator, Aviator. You ...
