    <title>Introduction to Xorg Legacy</title>

    <para>
      <application>Xorg</application>&apos;s ancestor (X11R1, in 1987) at
      first only provided bitmap fonts, with a tool
      (<command>bdftopcf</command>) to assist in their installation. With the
      introduction of <application>xorg-server-1.19.0</application> and
      <application>libXfont2</application> 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.
    </para>

    <note>
      <para>
        The font-adobe-100dpi package installs 100 dots per inch versions of
        Courier, Helvetica, New Century Schoolbook and Times fonts.
      </para>

      <para>
        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.

    <para>
      First, create a list of files to be downloaded. This file will also
      be used to verify the integrity of the downloads when complete:
    </para>

    <para>
      To download the needed files using <xref linkend='wget'/>,
      use the following commands:
    </para>

<screen><userinput>mkdir legacy &amp;&amp;
cd    legacy &amp;&amp;
grep -v '^#' ../legacy.dat | awk '{print $2$3}' | wget -i- -c \

      First, start a subshell that will exit on error:

<screen><userinput>bash -e</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      Install all of the packages by running the following commands:
    </para>
