If it is the terminal emulators running in a desktop system we are talking about, I doubt most people are using bitmap fonts these days. Most distros come with some modern font pre-configured for the terminal emulator.

I specifically said "console terminal in Linux" (so not an emulator), but in Linux, at least xterm uses bitmap fonts by default.
