UNI-VGA is a Unicode VGA font for X11 and console. It is primarily
|

|
|
|
intended to be the single source of fonts for console and for MS-DOS
|
|
|
|
|
emulators.

One of the aims while creating the font was its internal consistency.
|
|
|
|
|
For example, accented glyphs shouldn't differ too much from unaccented
|

|
|
|
ones, as it was in original IBM's VGA font. It also allows rendering
|
|
|
|
|
Latin Extended Additional glyphs with two accents, which was
|
2020-10-12 15:48:59 +08:00
|
|
|
impossible with IBM's accents' size.

X11 calls the font:
|
|
|
|
|
-bolkhov-vga-medium-r-normal--16-160-75-75-c-80-iso10646-1
|
|
|
|
|
...and an alias called "univga" is added, so you can say e.g.:
|
|
|
|
|
xterm -fn univga

|
|
|
In most applications' font pickers, the font is just "VGA".
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Also 3 varieties of the font are installed for use with
|
|
|
|
|
the Linux console: AsianCyr-vga-8x16, WinCyr-vga-8x16, and
|
|
|
|
|
UniCyrX-vga-8x16. They can be used in /etc/rc.d/rc.font, but won't
|
|
|
|
|
show up in the setconsolefont menu.

|
|
|
|
By default, the BDF (old style X bitmap), PSF (Linux console), and
|
|
|
|
|
OTB (new style Pango/Harfbuzz bitmap) fonts are installed. If you for
|
|
|
|
|
some reason need it, you can also install the PCF (portable compiled
|
|
|
|
|
X font) version, with PCF=yes in the environment. You can also set
|
|
|
|
|
BDF=no, PSF=no, and/or OTB=no, if you want to omit one or more of
|
|
|
|
|
these font types. Setting all 4 variables to "no" is an error, though.
