Yes, another collection of fonts for use with Linux VC's.

In case you didn't know, you can use different fonts on your virtual
console, other than the standard one that comes on your VGA card's
ROM chip. You need to get the "kbd-0.85.tar.gz" package which should
be in the same dir as these fonts. (...see the following lsm entry)
Then all you do is type "setfont new_font_name" and you are done.

This font compilation includes fonts from the common DOS program
called "vfont" which amongst other highlights, has a "scrawl" font
that looks like Calvin and Hobbes writing -- quite amusing.

There are 22 fonts in total, and they have been uploaded to tsx-11
and sunsite. The files are:

		kbd_fonts.tar.gz
		kbd_fonts.lsm		<--- Linux Software Map Entry.

Here is the lsm entry for more info.

Enjoy,
Paul.
