[L505]

I've always wanted to find the most compact and readable font myself. Just never
spent the time looking.

Well today I did a bit of searching, and found some fonts that are more compact
than at least Courier New

Save about twice as much screen space if you just choose the right compact font.
Courier new seems to waste a lot of space between lines.

| 1280/16 = 80.

| 16 is normal vga font iirc.
