Bitmap fonts are considered superior by some, and are used by a lot of
people. Go search for some tiling WM's screenshots, and you'll see :)
Also, if you don't like old-school-looking X11 default fonts, maybe try
Terminus, Dina or Tamsyn.


It is a matter of taste probably, but for User-interface elements I 
prefer a good bitmap font without AA.
I use WindowMaker and GNUstep and especially on a good display, 
Helvetica bitmap is far more readable and consistent than anti-aliased 
and scalable ones.

The same goes for me for terminal and Code Editors.
For text display in reading like in a Browser or a PDF, a scalable font 
with AA might be more pleasant. However... if bitmap fonts are available 
in the correct text and header sizes, they look really good!

I don't think so, there must be a need for a new console driver...
Take a look at the code though, maybe there's a mention of the font
somewhere:

No, port-arm is a legitimate category. It is meant for all the ARM
ports, of which evbarm is just one.

I cannot comment on who the official portmaster is, but the evbarm
port is fairly active. jmcneill@ does quite a bit of work, for
example.

I realize that I've maybe made a mistake by assigning a category 
matching a non-existing (ever? http://www.netbsd.org/ports/history.html)

I've also noticed that there is no maintainer listed for the evbarm port 
on the "port maintainers" web page 
(http://www.netbsd.org/people/port-maintainers.html). This seems 
surprising to me as the port is listed among the "Tier I" ports. Does 
this port have a maintainer?

Well, old VGA fonts could be modified with pcvt-utils, at least that's
what the guide says. This "high-res" font is kinda built-in into drm(4)
(correct me if I'm wrong), that's why you can't change it with
wsfontload(8).


yes... it is using the "high res" console.
Can't we fix the fonts inside DRM?

There was a thread on tech I believe talking about something very similar not 
too long ago. Might be worth looking through the archives.

very nice:)

now I don't remember if this CPU has MMX or not...
cpu0 at mainbus0
cpu0: Intel 586-class, 232MHz, id 0x581
cpu0: package 0, core 0, smt 0

It should though, according to:https://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:600


Riccardo

Looks like you found the issue.


Well, what is the issue actually? We have a clue... but no details

do you think git has the same issue but does not coredumps?

Anyway,  curl should work, I found a bug for sure. 
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.12 is part of base though.


What now? a PR?
