I used the VGA8 font for xterms and such for years and years until I switched to Terminus. If someone designed a scalable font based on VGA8, that would be totally awesome.
The font "IBM Nouveau" may be close to what you're looking for: http://www.dafont.com/nouveau-ibm.font - it's scalable and VGA-based, although still kind of angular. (I'm actually planning my own version to complement the oldschool PC font pack, but for now this might do.)
