I've got my own operating system (MirBSD), so I obviously compiled it myself,
but on the other hand, you could call this the default distribution as well…
there's probably no answer to that question ☺

Good luck.

I don't think that one has anything in common with real Lynx.

I got the aforementioned page (cn.msn.com) to work with GNU Unifont.
I've put it as convenient download at http://mira.66h.42h.de/fonts/unifont.ttf
but please don't spread that URI _too_ much (I'm aware this list is
archived, but that doesn't matter as it's nothing illegal, just more
of a concern of traffic for the poor server owner, because that's my
personal archive).
