The package xfonts-dosemu might be what you want (if I'm understanding
you correctly). It contains the following fonts:
vga -dosemu-vga-medium-r-normal--17-160-75-75-p-80-ibm-cp437
vga11x19 -dosemu-vga-medium-r-normal--19-190-75-75-c-100-ibm-cp437
vgacyr -dosemu-vga-medium-r-normal--17-160-75-75-c-80-ibm-cp866
vga10x20 -dosemu-vga-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-ibm-cp866
vga-ua -dosemu-vga-medium-r-normal--17-160-75-75-c-80-ibm-cp1125
vga10x20-ua -dosemu-vga-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-ibm-cp1125
