| 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. |
