1. About.
|
|
|
|
This archive contains source code for generating and installing Terminus
|
|
Font for Linux console, BSD console and X11 Window System.
|
|
|
|
- version 4.39
|
|
- sizes 6x12, 8x14, 8x16, 10x18, 10x20, 11x22, 12x24, 14x28, 16x32
|
|
- styles normal, bold, EGA/VGA bold
|
|
- characters 891
|
|
- format Bitmap Distribution Format (BDF) version 2.1
|
|
|
|
The character set covers about 120 language sets and supports ISO8859-1/2/5/
|
|
7/9/13/15/16, Paratype-PT154/PT254, KOI8-R/U/E/F, Esperanto and many IBM,
|
|
Windows and Macintosh code pages, as well as the IBM VGA, vt100 and xterm
|
|
pseudographic characters.
|
|
|
|
1.1. Quick installation.
|
|
|
|
The commands:
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure [--prefix=PREFIX]
|
|
$ make
|
|
# make install fontdir
|
|
|
|
compile and install the Linux console and X11 Window System fonts.
|
|
The default PREFIX is /usr/local.
|
|
|
|
1.2. Legend.
|
|
|
|
The file names are structured as follows:
|
|
|
|
ter-u<SIZE><STYLE>.bdf
|
|
|
|
where <SIZE> is the font height, and <STYLE> is n for normal (all sizes), b
|
|
for bold (all sizes except 6x12) and v for EGA/VGA bold (8x14 and 8x16 only,
|
|
makes use of the eight character matrix column).
|
|
|
|
1.3. Variants.
|
|
|
|
Some characters are implemented in two variants. To use the alternate
|
|
variant, execute:
|
|
|
|
$ patch -p1 -i alt/<NAME>.diff
|
|
|
|
before installation. See the font page for examples about the differences.
|
|
If you want to combine hi2 with dv1 and/or ka2, apply hi2 and then hi2-dv1
|
|
and/or hi2-ka2.
|
|
|
|
1.4. Notes.
|
|
|
|
The commands marked with $ can be executed by a regular user.
|
|
The configure commands are optional.
|
|
The make commands require GNU make.
|
|
|
|
A lot of characters are available only under X11/ISO10646-1 (UTF+8/Unicode).
|
|
|
|
Sizes 6x12, 11x22, 14x28-bold and 16x32-normal are worse than the others.
|
|
Avoid them.
|
|
|
|
210E and 210F are not italic.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Linux console.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
$ ./configure [--prefix=PREFIX | --psfdir=DIRECTORY]
|
|
$ make psf
|
|
# make install-psf
|
|
|
|
The files are compressed with gzip and installed in DIRECTORY. The default
|
|
DIRECTORY is PREFIX/share/consolefonts. Requires Perl.
|
|
|
|
If you lack mappings for Windows-1252/1250/1251/1254/1253/1257, ISO8859-16,
|
|
IBM-437, KOI8-R, Bulgarian-MIK or Paratype-PT154/PT254, also run:
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure [--prefix=PREFIX | --acmdir=DIRECTORY]
|
|
$ make txt
|
|
# make install-acm
|
|
|
|
The default DIRECTORY is PREFIX/share/consoletrans. Requires awk.
|
|
Uninstallation of the mappings is not supported. To load a font:
|
|
|
|
$ consolechars [-m MAPPING] -f ter-<X><SIZE><STYLE>
|
|
|
|
where <X> is a character identifying the code page as listed in p.2.4.
|
|
|
|
2.2. kbd.
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure [--psfdir=DIRECTORY]
|
|
$ make psf
|
|
# make install-psf
|
|
|
|
where DIRECTORY should be either PREFIX/lib/kbd/consolefonts or
|
|
PREFIX/share/kbd/consolefonts, depending on kbd version. Missing mappings
|
|
are installed with:
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure [--prefix=PREFIX | --unidir=DIRECTORY]
|
|
$ make txt
|
|
# make install-uni
|
|
|
|
The default DIRECTORY is PREFIX/share/kbd/consoletrans. Requires awk. To
|
|
load a font:
|
|
|
|
$ setfont [-m MAPPING] ter-<X><SIZE><STYLE>
|
|
|
|
where <X> is a character identifying the code page as listed in p.2.4.
|
|
|
|
2.3. Quick reference.
|
|
|
|
The commands:
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure [--prefix=PREFIX | --psfdir=DIRECTORY | --ref=FILENAME]
|
|
# make install-ref
|
|
|
|
install the text from p.2.4 as FILENAME (the default is README.terminus)

3.3. Notes.
|
|
|
|
The RAW font contains data only and should be compatible with all UNIX
|
|
systems. If any of the bold fonts doesn't look good try framebuffer-bold,
|
|
or, if you are using an EGA/VGA adapter, program it to to clear column 8 of
|
|
the character matrix (attribute controller register 0x10 bit 0x02).

4. X11 Window System.
|
|
|
|
- sizes all available, see "About"
|
|
- styles normal, bold
|
|

|
|
ISO8859-9/Windows-1254, ISO8859-13, ISO8859-15, ISO8859-16,

|
|
|
|
4.1. Installation.
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure [--prefix=PREFIX | --x11dir=DIRECTORY]
|
|
$ make pcf
|
|
# make install-pcf
|
|
|
|
The files are compressed with gzip and installed in DIRECTORY. The default
|
|
DIRECTORY is PREFIX/share/fonts/terminus. Requires Perl and bdftopcf.
|
|
|
|
A copy of the normal 6x12 font is installed as "bold", because some X11
|
|
libraries and applications substitute the missing bold fonts by shifting the
|
|
normal fonts, and others do not recognize the bold style at all if the
|
|
lowest font size lacks it. To install only the normal font, use "n12"
|
|
instead of "pcf" in the above commands.
|
|
|
|
To update the font cache in DIRECTORY after (un)installation, run:
|
|
|
|
# make fontdir
|
|
|
|
The configuration file which lists the font directories must contain
|
|
DIRECTORY. If xfs or the X-server were active during the installation, they
|
|
should be restarted so the font list can be updated.
|
|
|
|
4.2. Notes.
|
|
|
|
The ISO8859-1 and ISO8859-9 fonts contain the Windows Western characters and
|
|
can be used as Windows-1252 and Windows-1254 respectively.
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Frequently Asked Questions.
|
|
|
|
Q. Italic version?
|
|
|
|
A. No. The quality is significantly lower, and preserving the font width
|
|
requires overlapping characters, which are not handled very well by X11/Xft.
|
|
If you need it than much, try mkitalic from FreeBSD or bdfslant from Debian.
|
|
|
|
Q. Scalable version?
|
|
|
|
A. Long story short, when the average display resolution becomes at least
|
|
150 DPI. Prefferably 200.
|
|
|
|
Q. How about some new characters?
|
|
|
|
A. Contact me and be ready to help.
|
|
|
|
Q. The bold 6x12 font...
|
|
|
|
A. ...does not exist, there is no space for a bold font in a 6x12 matrix.
|
|
However, the "normal" font is somewhere between.
|
|
|
|
Q. The font works in X11/Motif, but not in GNOME/KDE/Xfce.
|
|
|
|
A. Try adding 75-yes-terminus.conf to the Fontconfig configuration files.
|
|
See also mkfontscale(1), mkfontdir(1), fc-cache(1), xorg.conf(5), xfs(1),
|
|
xlsfonts(1), fonts-conf(5) etc.
