xfonts-traditional binary package in Ubuntu Mantic s390x
Provides "traditional" versions of fixed-width fonts.
.
These are a set of fonts (including 6x13 "fixed"), with foundry name
"trad" instead of "misc", with several glyphs replaced with earlier
versions from before Markus Kuhn's changes:
- balanced ` '
- less tall [ ] ( ) { }
- centred *
- high ~
- slightly higher &
- traditional appearance of W a
- in 10x20, versions of ; : , . matching ` ' and each other
.
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.
.
Additionally, we provide ASCII-compatible versions of several Neep
fonts (replacing "jmk" with "trad.jmk" in the foundry name).
.
Optionally, this package will edit your system configuration to make
the default fonts used by xterm 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 relevant font you have installed.)
