+Description: Traditional fixed-with fonts for X
+ Provides "traditional" versions of fixed-width fonts.
+ .
+ These are a set of 6x13 fonts (including "fixed"), with foundry name
+ "trad" instead of "misc", with several glyphs replaced with earlier
+ versions from before Markus Kuhn's changes:
+ - balanced ` and '
+ - less tall [ ] ( ) { }
+ - centred *
+ - high ~
+ - traditional appearance of lower case a
+ .
+ These changes make the fonts compatible with the US-ASCII character
+ set. (UTF-8 is not compatible with ASCII in its usage of the
+ backquote and some other characters.) With these fonts, pre-2000
+ documents (including ASCII art and GNU manuals) will render
+ correctly.
+ .
+ Optionally, this package will edit your configuration to make the
+ default font "fixed" refer to the traditional font.
+ .
+ (This package does not actually contain the bulk of the font data;
+ rather, it automatically generates the required modified fonts for
+ each font you have installed.)
