Fragment of the "readme" file in Joel Hoffman's codepage.tar.Z ============================================================== File readme. June 14, 1992. ... I have included two sample fonts, one written by myself and the other by Dimitri Vulis (dlv@cunyvms1.BITNET). Both are in the public domain. My font, 972.cp, is a Hebrew font. The other is 880.cp, a Cyrilic font (Russian etc.). The Hebrew font uses the same encoding scheme as the VT-100's in Israel, so any software that works on those will now run on Linux (e.g., my hebrew.el package for GNU Emacs). I'm told 880.cp follows the relevent Russian standard, so I suppose it does. This package, while (c) 1992 by Joel M. Hoffman, can be used as freely as any other part of Linux. Files: 972.cp Font data for 25-line Hebrew font. 880.cp Font data for Cyrilic font. =========================================================== Elsewhere I found fonts 880-14.psf, 880-16.psf, 972-14.psf, 972-16.psf, but these turn out to come from 880.cp and 972.cp, and since setfont now also understands *.cp files I deleted the four abovementioned fonts. =========================================================== H. Peter Anvin writes: ... I developed the Latin-1 *.psf fonts; Pavel Zaboj did the Latin-2 ones. SLS took them directly from Pavel's national package. A DOS-hosted PSF font editor is available on eecs.nwu.edu. =========================================================== The font default8x16 is from my hardware. Bruno Haible contributed def2_8x16. The fonts iso*.* are due to Kosta Kostis (kosta@blues.sub.de) and were obtained from ftp.uni-erlangen.de:pub/doc/ISO/charset/isofont101.tar.gz The fonts gr.* are due to Sarantos Kapidakis (sarantos@ics.forth.gr). He writes: "I am sending you the greek fonts, for 8x14 and 8x16. They follow the ELOT928 standard." Paul Gortmaker (paul@rasty.anu.edu.au) contributed ugly_l (which I removed again because now it can be found as 8x16alt in his collection of fonts kbd_fonts.tar.gz obtainable from sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Keyboards/ and from tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/system/ ). Some more fonts can be found in sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Keyboards/fontpack.tgz Raul D. Miller (rockwell@nova.umd.edu) made aply16.psf. Angelos Karageorgiou (angelos@netaxis.com) contributed gr*.psf. Ahmed Naas (ahmed@oea.xs4all.nl) contributed 16[1-5].cp. =========================================================== aeb@cwi.nl
