Ah, so the characters we’re seeing here are twice as wide as they would be when printed? Adding some CSS to compress the page horizontally looks a lot closer to the first image you shared:

  html {
    transform: scaleX(50%);
  }

The font on the page is definitely too wide -- it should be taller than wide, and 10 characters per inch.

I'm not sure the original MX-80 had square dots. Since they made this to be pixel accurate, the aspect ratio might be off because the MX-80 was off.

The key test is not how it looks on screen, but how it looks printed.

I played with it a bit and 65% or so seemed more accurate to my memories
