Blue Screen of Death typeface?

arial, jk I have no idea

Try the Perfect DOS VGA 437 font.

It's actually a more faithful rendition of the VGA/MCGA hardware text-mode font used in the original Windows BSODs than the virtualized replica that you posted. But the two are similar enough that most people probably wouldn't notice the difference.

Thanks Spire.

the font used for these screens is a bitmap font, since it needs to function before the font rasterizer is loaded, or even if the rasterizer has crashed.
So you won't be able to produce it exactly unless you disable all anti-aliasing.

I think I'll manage fine with Spire's suggestion. Thanks Jason.
