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 | - slightly higher & |

23 | . |
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 | |
28 | correctly. | |
29 | . | |
30 | Optionally, this package will edit your configuration to make the | |
31 | default font "fixed" refer to the traditional font. | |
32 | . | |
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.) |
