That's Dennis and Ken, at the first Unix desktop. I'm not sure they used the term "desktop", it was more "console".

Installing TrueType Fonts made a big difference.

Yes. Do not use X11 at all, or use twm without any customization (although it is highly configurable).
That is real bsd/unix feeling.

I think teletypes were better for the eyes than CRT green (or other) screens.

Doez compiz work with kde5 FreeBSD 12.2? Do I have to wait for the packages being upgraded?

I think teletypes were better for the eyes than CRT green (or other) screens.

When the first white and orange terminals came out, we were AMAZED at how ergonomic they were. And then we got inverse screen (black on bright background), and then soft scrolling (at the VT200 generation). Times were good.

I followed this guide:

Chapter 5. The X Window System

This chapter describes how to install and configure Xorg on FreeBSD, which provides the open source X Window System used to provide a graphical environment

www.freebsd.org

Section: 5.5.2. TrueType® Fonts

xset fp+ /usr/local/share/fonts/TrueType

xset: bad font path element (#8), possible causes are:
Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
Directory missing fonts.dir
Incorrect font server address or syntax
