I think it's an improvement, particularly at 32x32. Your attempts at 16x16, 24x24, and 32x32 definitely look better than mine. Also, somehow I seem to have broken the terminal frame in 32x32. I didn't notice that before, but in direct comparison with your 32x32 it's quite obvious. As for 48x48 and 64x64, it seems the thicker original stroke results in a washed-out looking stroke in the inner part of the C, just below the wedge. Can you get rid of that washed-out look? If yes, I just take all of them. > > Maybe a terminal or a setup box with just a green wedge? > > Hmm, interesting idea.
