1 | Package: xfonts-traditional |
2 | Depends: xfonts-utils, pcf2bdf | |
3 | Description: Traditional fixed-with fonts for X | |
4 | Provides "traditional" versions of fixed-width fonts. | |
5 | . | |
6 | These are a set of 6x13 fonts (including "fixed"), with foundry name | |
7 | "trad" instead of "misc", with several glyphs replaced with earlier | |
8 | versions from before Markus Kuhn's changes: | |
9 | - balanced ` and ' | |
10 | - less tall [ ] ( ) { } | |
11 | - centred * | |
12 | - high ~ | |
13 | - traditional appearance of lower case a | |
14 | . | |
15 | These changes make the fonts compatible with the US-ASCII character | |
16 | set. (UTF-8 is not compatible with ASCII in its usage of the | |
17 | backquote and some other characters.) With these fonts, pre-2000 | |
18 | documents (including ASCII art and GNU manuals) will render | |
19 | correctly. | |
20 | . | |
21 | Optionally, this package will edit your configuration to make the | |
22 | default font "fixed" refer to the traditional font. | |
23 | . | |
24 | (This package does not actually contain the bulk of the font data; | |
25 | rather, it automatically generates the required modified fonts for | |
26 | each font you have installed.) |
