| 11 | Description: Traditional fixed-with fonts for X | |
| 12 | Provides "traditional" versions of fixed-width fonts. | |
| 13 | . | |
| 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: | |
| 17 | - balanced ` and ' | |
| 18 | - less tall [ ] ( ) { } | |
| 19 | - centred * | |
| 20 | - high ~ | |
| 21 | - traditional appearance of lower case a | |
| 22 | . | |
| 23 | These changes make the fonts compatible with the US-ASCII character | |
| 24 | set. (UTF-8 is not compatible with ASCII in its usage of the | |
| 25 | backquote and some other characters.) With these fonts, pre-2000 | |
| 26 | documents (including ASCII art and GNU manuals) will render | |
| 27 | correctly. | |
| 28 | . | |
| 29 | Optionally, this package will edit your configuration to make the | |
| 30 | default font "fixed" refer to the traditional font. | |
| 31 | . | |
| 32 | (This package does not actually contain the bulk of the font data; | |
| 33 | rather, it automatically generates the required modified fonts for | |
| 34 | each font you have installed.) |
