I wonder if the LINC computer from 1962 is the first pixel font on a display, ever.
The font was 4x6, and the small screen seems to hold only 25x12 characters.
The font is so simple it took up half a page in a manual. I’m curious if it was designed by Mary Allen Wilkes?

Funny story the lab where I used to work had a hand in the start of the LINC and they were the last ones to operate a LINC.
Sadly I suspect it was not the first pixel font but I could be wrong. I joined decades after the last complete linc left. When I was there the spare parts and tapes were still laying around.
