%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ Xorg Legacy Xorg's ancestor (X11R1, in 1987) at first only provided bitmap fonts, with a tool (bdftopcf) to assist in their installation. With the introduction of xorg-server-1.19.0 and libXfont2 many people will not need them. There are still a few old packages which might require, or benefit from, these deprecated fonts and so the following packages are shown here. The font-adobe-100dpi package installs 100 dots per inch versions of Courier, Helvetica, New Century Schoolbook and Times fonts. In previous versions of BLFS a lot more fonts were installed, and also 75 dots per inch versions. Please consult the BLFS-7.10 book at if you wish to install any of those other fonts. Please consult the BLFS-7.10 systemd book at if you wish to install any of those other fonts. &lfs7a_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download size: &x7legacy-size; Estimated disk space required: &x7legacy-buildsize; Estimated build time: &x7legacy-time; Xorg Legacy Dependencies Required Optional with one or more of the following: , , , and (to generate additional PDF or text documentation for the libXfont package).
