Rumor has it that Jules Richardson may have mentioned these words:

Personally, I like the sharp angles on the Atari vector font - the curves
look a bit too.. well.. perfect :)
Some time ago, someone on this list posted a URL for a site where someone
had homebrewed something to that effect and were using a 'scope as the XY
display; it was all hooked up to a computer so that they could draw
images, write words etc. on the 'scope's display. Anyone have the URL handy? Wouldn't mind looking at
that again, but if I
filed it I can't find it...
Dunno if this is what you were thinking; and it's kinda offtopic as it uses
a PC & Soundcard to draw the images; tho it would seem possible to do it
with ontopic hardware...
Depending on your boss, possibly not safe for work:
