So, if I can produce just one new page (libXfont, bdftopcf, adobe-100dpi plus a note that there were several other bitmap fonts - see the 7.10 book) I will be happier than creating three.
My first thought *was* to separate each page, but AFAICS only two packages in the book (tigervnc, xscreensaver) have any use for them if xterm is configured for 'Monospace' w hi ch we already do. ĸen -- `I shall take my mountains', said Lu-Tze. `The climate will be good for them.' -- Small Gods -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
