DESCRIPTION
-----------

A bunch of  bitmap fonts - some collected from  around the globe, some
created by the author.



COMPILING
---------

Execute the  "compile" script in the  "src"  subdirectory.



SETUP
-----

The  compiled fonts  are  located in  "lfp-var" subdirectory.  Further
instructions you'll have to find on your own.



THINGS TO KNOW
--------------

These  fonts  were  made  with   XmBDFEditor  that  can  be  found  at
http://crl.nmsu.edu/~mleisher/xmbdfed.html. It is  pretty easy to use,
but  older versions  are buggy,  so get  the latest  version  and save
often. Other editors do exist as well, but I prefer this one.

You make fonts in BDF format,  then convert them to PCF with "bdftopcf
-o <output> <input>". You can gzip  PCF files to save some space. Then
you run "mkfontdir" in the  directory your files are in. The "compile"
script in the source package does all that for you.

You can therefore edit others fonts  if they are in BDF format. If you
come across a  PCF font, you can  edit it too by converting  it to BDF
format first using the "pcf2bdf" tool.



ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
----------------

Well, there have been a few small contributions. A bow to all of them.
