   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.)
