He's still got some nice ones.  Some free some pay.  I use his freeware
ones right now.  They aren't quite as nice as Ultravision NewFont was
though.  I wonder if Ultravision's authors Horvatich or Juriewicz ever
converted their UV fonts to windows fon files?  Uwe's fonts added a second
10x20 console window font, a 11x19 one I think, and a 12x23 one.  Maybe a
few others.  On resolutions higher than 1024x768 you definitely need bigger
than 10x20 and the 12x23 files fit that nitch.  I also use TameDos, which
in its latest version 5.0 allows dos windows to use any monospaced or
truetype font you may want.  You aren't limited to terminal and lucida
console.  TameDos does a lot more than just that, but the console window
improvements are a nice feature.
