pprofiles/workstation: Use true type VGA font
The DOSEMU fonts we were using so far for CP437 were bitmap fonts only and with no unicode support. Luckily there is https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/ - which is a really cool font pack containing all the cool oldschool fonts that I remember from my childhood and still use today for creating ASCII art. Since we recently* hit the 21st century, I think it's about time that even I should start having terminals with proper Unicode support. The latter is already the case, but the glyphs just didn't display correctly. The font that I switched to (MxPlus IBM VGA 8x16) is using embededd bitmaps, so I also enabled useEmbeddedBitmaps option, so that the font still looks as crisp as the old DOSEMU font. To make sure it really is the same font, I compared screenshots of all the CP437 characters with the new font and they match the old font 1:1. I also removed the liberation_ttf font, since it's already included by the default NixOS font configuration. * -> Your mileage may vary, but hey, the 90ies were yesterday, right?
