Description (last modified by Xi Ruoyao)

These fonts should have no use on a modern system. And with CSS of some websites (for example, old BLFS release) they can be wrongly matched, resulting a very ugly display.

xorg7-legacy is "required" by tigervnc, but I guess only bdftopcf is really needed.

I'm pretty sure that the Xorg log contains warnings without the xorg7-legacy fonts. For those of us that like clean logs, this package is still needed.

The introduction to this page says:

"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."

There is no need to archive this page,
