11 Description: Traditional fixed-width fonts for X
12 Provides "traditional" versions of fixed-width fonts.
14 These are a set of fonts (including 6x13 "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 W a
23 - in 10x20, versions of ; : , . matching ` ' and each other
25 These changes make the fonts compatible with the US-ASCII character
26 set. (UTF-8 is not compatible with ASCII in its usage of the
27 backquote and some other characters.) With these fonts, pre-2000
28 documents (including ASCII art and GNU manuals) will render
31 Additionally, we provide ASCII-compatible versions of several Neep
32 fonts (replacing "jmk" with "trad.jmk" in the foundry name).
34 Optionally, this package will edit your system configuration to make
35 the default fonts used by xterm refer to the traditional font.
37 (This package does not actually contain the bulk of the font data;
38 rather, it automatically generates the required modified fonts for
39 each relevant font you have installed.)
