> Instead of simply searching for one of the numerous font-dumps that exist on the Internet
On the other hand I enjoy reading about all the things people are recreating with LLMs, since it gives an idea of what's not just possible, but actually practical, in case I ever need something similar.
(This may be a short-lived preference though, if it gets to the point where just about anything within reason is practical.)
It's one thing to use an LLM to create something new, but to get it to regurgitate an imperfect version of something that already exists and is easily found, and then have to spend time fixing it, hardly seems like a good use.
Okay now you're someplace without internet but you have your 128GB workstation laptop with a 24GB GPU. Still waiting to work on a project that has assets "online if you just search"?
Or are you going to make a font by hand? From memory?
Not everything has to be done the way you think it needs to be done.

...which has a VBIOS you can extract the font from.
Just one? Even your standard Linux install will contain a couple dozen such fonts.
Most likely, the goal here was copyright laundering.
