as I download the shrift and place it in my Font folder, why I can't use it in my word? it appears in the word but it didn't change the font
Sadly, the font does not come with a license.
This font helped me to port an old dos program under W7 32 bit. I used semigraphical characters to draw rectangles. PerfectDOS is slighty different from original 437 characters: Vertical bar is 179 decimal. If I put 179 on the same column in different rows, I see a long continuous vertical line. With PerfectDOS the line in not continuous: most upper and lower dots are off ! The same holds for orizontal lines. Anyway: great work !

The license is this: this font is free to use in whatever you want.
Beautiful work! Thanks, Zeh!!! I will use this in a web user interface that will look
like old VGA text mode user interface
Hey Zeh! Just wanted to tell you that 'Perfect DOS VGA 437' is a really great font and I used it as the main font in my nerd documentary 'Traceroute':

If anybody wonders what's the difference between "Perfect DOS VGA 437" and "Perfect DOS VGA 437 Win" - Win version uses normal places for glyphs like ё, and non-win version isn't (i guess it's for something like KOI8 or other obsolete encoding system).
Echoing what Band said above: If you're using this for aesthetics, you probably want to use "Perfect DOS VGA 437 Win" because it will handle modern text better
