Terminal bitmap fonts

Distributed under GPLv2+.

How to edit these fonts ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The pcf files are binary compiled X fonts generated from bdf by bdftopcf utility.

The bdf fonts are plain text and could be edited by your favorite text editor or by a bit cranky gbdfed editor.

How to use the fonts with xterm ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

  • Create the directory under /usr/share/fonts and copy the pcf files and fonts.dir there
  • Add the fonts into X font directory (either in XOrg configuration or by xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/dir/)
  • run xterm -fn -haxor-medium-12 (or any other name as defined in fonts.dir)
