Leggie ------ Leggie is a pleasant, legible monospaced (character cell) bitmap font. It was designed for readability and long work in a terminal. It's one of the very few sans-serif monospace fonts. Leggie is available in the following sizes: - 6x12 px - 9x14 px (EGA-style bold only) - 9x16 px (VGA-style bold only) - 9x18 px - 12x24 px and styles: - Normal - Bold - Italic - Bold italic. I think leggie is more readable than Terminus, because the letters are slightly shorter, resulting in a bit more inter-line space (while still giving you the same number of lines). There is a good selection of glyphs available: - ASCII - ISO 8859-{1,2,3,4,5,7,8,9,10,13,14,15,16} - IPA - Microsoft WGL4 - VT100 graphics - Common block drawing graphics - Symbols from the default VGA font (a.k.a. Codepage 437) - Some mathematics - Powerline - Nice punctuation - Braille (3- and 4-row) - ಠ_ಠ - ... Overall, all living European languages and some Asian languages are supported. Currently supported scripts are: Armenian, Cyrillic, Georgian (Mkhedruli), Hebrew, Latin (including Vietnamese and Pinyin). I am always interested in adding new glyphs, so please let me know if there are any characters/languages that you need and I will try to add them. Bold and italic --------------- The extra styles are still being tested and for now only contain the glyphs from the ISO 8859 charsets (all supported parts). Patches ------- Version 0.1707.2 introduced optional patches. Look in the patches directory and if you see anything you like, just apply them: patch < patches/your.patch. Please send me your patches to <w@kerr.sh>. Make sure to include your name, email address, and a list of glyphs you've changed. Linux console fonts (PSF) ------------------------- Version 2.1651 introduced support for generating Linux console fonts. Just run make psf. Make sure to have the bdf2psf program installed, it's available in most popular distributions and from https://packages.debian.org/sid/all/bdf2psf/download. Installing ---------- To only install the BDFs, run make installbdf. By default it installs to /usr/share/fonts. If you want to install to a custom directory, e.g. ~/.fonts, run make BDFDEST=~/.fonts installbdf. To install the PSFs, run make installpsf. By default it installs to /usr/share/consolefonts. Similar to the above, you can pass PSFDEST to install to a custom directory. To install both, run make install. You can still pass BDFDEST and PSFDEST.
