I'm aware of at least one DEC-supplied terminal emulator for Windows
which came with its own VT fonts (I'm probably thinking of the Multia
emulator, which might have been called VTstar - but I could be
confusbed).

I don't have one handy right now but (a) does anyone else remember it
(b) does anyone know whether it Did The Right Thing with doubleheight
(c) does anyone know what the font licence was or (d) where an
equivalent font package might be found?
