Source: xfonts-traditional Maintainer: Ian Jackson Section: x11 Priority: optional Standards-Version: 3.9.2.0 Build-Depends: xfonts-utils, pcf2bdf, debhelper (>=8), po-debconf Package: xfonts-traditional Architecture: all Depends: xfonts-utils, pcf2bdf, ${misc:Depends}, ${perl:Depends} Description: Traditional fixed-with fonts for X Provides "traditional" versions of fixed-width fonts. . These are a set of 6x13 fonts (including "fixed"), with foundry name "trad" instead of "misc", with several glyphs replaced with earlier versions from before Markus Kuhn's changes: - balanced ` ' - less tall [ ] ( ) { } - centred * - high ~ - slightly higher & - traditional appearance of W a . These changes make the fonts compatible with the US-ASCII character set. (UTF-8 is not compatible with ASCII in its usage of the backquote and some other characters.) With these fonts, pre-2000 documents (including ASCII art and GNU manuals) will render correctly. . Optionally, this package will edit your configuration to make the default font "fixed" refer to the traditional font. . (This package does not actually contain the bulk of the font data; rather, it automatically generates the required modified fonts for each relevant font you have installed.)
