  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  ` '
  18   - less tall  [ ] ( ) { }
  19   - centred  *
  20   - high  ~
  21   - slightly higher  &
  22   - traditional appearance of  W a
  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 relevant font you have installed.)
