%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. The remaining font packages here provide 75dpi versions of those fonts, and various miscellaneous fonts - mostly for legacy encodings. Those are primarily to silence warnings when testing Xorg. In previous versions of BLFS a lot more legacy fonts were installed. 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. &lfs81_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).
