- From: iek@arrc.salf.ac.uk (Ian King)
- To: aeb@cwi.nl
- Subject: kbd 0.89, source of more fonts and cirrus logic mode database
-
- Firstly thanks for the current (0.89?) kbd package. The resize
- program is great especially when combined with the kernel patch
- on sunsite that provides extra vga modes ;-) I enclose the saved mode
- files I have generated for my generic cirrus logic card at the bottom
- of this file (boy do they compress well 22k to 650bytes ;-) You
- mentioned collecting a database of files for various cards in the
- resize.c source code, feel free to include these as they take a while
- to generate and save, esp when you include the kernel rebuild.
-
- Obviously I cannot guarantee they will work, but they do for me. With
- of course disclaimers about exploding monitors and VGA cards.
-
- Secondly, something you could mention in the consolefonts documentation
- is that 200 more fonts are available from any simtel mirror. The file
- .../whatever_simtel20/screen/fntcol16.zip which contains hundreds of public
- domain PC fonts all that work with setfont directly with no conversion
- required (you can even make a VC look like a windowless mac ;-) The only
- problem is that the /usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts directory becomes a mess.
- I have divided mine up into f16, f14, f12, ... f8 subdirectories to make
- things easier. Fortunately all the files in fntcol16 have .f?? extensions
- which makes things much easier.
