https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D212984 Bug ID: 212984 Summary: [NEW PORT] x11-fonts/oldschool-pc-fonts Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: matthew@reztek.cz Created attachment 175155 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D175155&action= =3Dedit add x11-fonts/oldschool-pc-fonts The Ultimate Oldschool PC Font Pack started out with the idea of paying tri= bute to ancient PCs and their bitmapped, pre-GUI typography (if you can call it that). It was inspired by similar efforts that cover other vintage machines: classic system fonts from the Amiga, C64, Apple II, Mac, ZX Spectrum, Atari 8-bit/ST etc. are all celebrated. On the other hand, the IBM PC and its clo= nes seem to get little love... except for that one VGA text mode font (which has been remade numerous times, to varying degrees of success). This collection is here to remedy that, and to bring you pixel-perfect rema= kes of various type styles from text-mode era PCs - in modern, multi-platform, Unicode-compatible TrueType form (plus straight bitmap versions). Although the goal is to make it a complete resource, the main focus is on hardware character sets: the kind that's located in a ROM chip on the system board or graphics card, which is what you'd see by default when working in = text (or graphics) mode. Software-loadable fonts are also within the scope of th= is collection (if associated with a particular machine or display system), so = some of these have also made it in. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
