Please do!  There is a suite of terminal emulators that try to use the
original font and render the display somewhat pleasingly.  It includes
VT05, VT50, VT52, DataPoint 3300, and a few more.  Arguably it's mostly
eye candy, but I'd say it adds a little retro flair to the experience.

In a similar vein, I have written terminal simulators that run the
original VT100 and VT52 firmware and try to render the video output in
real time.

I have long maintained we need a good teletype emulator... nay,
simulator.  Think physics engine.
