Some nice fonts are available on this page:

I've used one of the fonts as an example for my acceleratec FPGA graphics
controller:

So, do you have a design for the VGA output from your FPGA ??

Well, he did just ask about VGA timings and posted code too a few days
ago, so that's probably a yes...

Giorgios,
At "http://opencores.org/project,yavga" you can find a
simple VGA core.
Maybe you can customize that project for your needs.
There are also some (linux) shell script to easly customize the char-
set.

Regards
Sandro
