11 Description: Traditional fixed-with fonts for X
12 Provides "traditional" versions of fixed-width fonts.
14 These are a set of 6x13 fonts (including "fixed"), with foundry name
15 "trad" instead of "misc", with several glyphs replaced with earlier
16 versions from before Markus Kuhn's changes:
18 - less tall [ ] ( ) { }
22 - traditional appearance of: a W
24 These changes make the fonts compatible with the US-ASCII character
25 set. (UTF-8 is not compatible with ASCII in its usage of the
26 backquote and some other characters.) With these fonts, pre-2000
27 documents (including ASCII art and GNU manuals) will render
30 Optionally, this package will edit your configuration to make the
31 default font "fixed" refer to the traditional font.
33 (This package does not actually contain the bulk of the font data;
34 rather, it automatically generates the required modified fonts for
35 each font you have installed.)
