Okay, here's the screenshot of the #PERQ emulator holding up today's newspaper. For fans of #CommonLisp or #retrocomputing in general, I've slapped together an archive here: https://github.com/skeezicsb/PERQmedia/tree/master/Accent_S6/Lisp_M3 with a pre-configured hard disk image and config files. The T2 image works with the current release (v0.7.5) but to run the T4/4MB configuration requires a build from source or an updated release (v0.7.8) coming Real Soon Now. [Edited: oh yeah, Hemlock runs too.] Share and enjoy!

@skeezicsb That is one beautiful bitmap font.

@matt It's called "Fix13" and was probably there from the beginning ('79-80 or thereabouts). I've always wondered who to credit for designing and drawing it, since it was pretty distinctive and was used throughout the PERQ's entire run (1980-86ish).
