== Application-independent approach ==
Not all programs support specifying a matrix or a scaling factor.
Under systems using fontconfig (such as Linux distributions),
it is possible to override the stretch for an existing font
like so (~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf):
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'>
<fontconfig>
<match target="font">
<test qual="any" name="family">
<string>Px437 IBM VGA 9x16</string>
</test>
<edit name="matrix" mode="assign">
<times>
<name>matrix</name>
<matrix>
<double>0.73</double>
<double>0</double>
<double>0</double>
<double>1</double>
</matrix>
</times>
</edit>
</match>
<dir>~/.fonts</dir>
</fontconfig>
== Framework-independent approach ==
The int10h project offers font files that have their aspect
correction applied at the font level. As a result, they won't need
support from fontconfig or applications at all. These font files are
provided in the
int10h-oldschoolpc-fonts-stretched
subpackage in openSUSE.
