This package installs the same +fonts in the system-wide /usr/share/fonts/misc directory, so other +software can use them. + +These fonts are for codepages 437, 866, and 1125. ASCII text displays +correctly with them, but they don't support Unicode or ISO-8859-* +encodings. They're useful for applications such as BitchX (which uses +codepage 437) and viewing old text files from MS-DOS. + +After the package is installed, you may have to run "xset fp rehash" +to make the fonts available to X. You can get a list of the fonts +with "xlsfonts -fn -dosemu-*". Also, there are short aliases, so you +can run e.g. "xterm -fn vga11x19". These are: vga vga8x19 vga11x19 +vga10x24 vga12x30 vgacyr vga10x20 vga-ua vga10x20-ua. |
