As you can see, it has some errors. User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.9i Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org I've spent my offline-vacation on improving the fonts for use with the framebuffer. I've added all the characters marked 'FIXME' in the sun12x22 font and created a 10x18 font (based on the sun12x22 font) and a 7x14 font (based on the vga8x16 font). The total patch is about 300 KiB, so I won't attach it here. As maintainership of the fonts is unknown to me, I'm posting this to lkml, fb-devel, Andrew and some choice fb developers. This patch is non-intrusive, no options are enabled by default so most users won't notice a thing. I am placing my changes under the GPL, however, I've not seen any copyright notices on the sun12x22 font and the vga8x16 font which I derived my new fonts from so I don't know what the copyright status is. The patch is available at http://www.xs4all.nl/~thunder7/fonts_7x14_10x18_12x22.diff I would appreciate inclusion, of course, or constructive comments. Thanks, Jurriaan -- It was not a compliment, but there was praise in it, if one knew how to look. Michelle West - Sea of Sorrows Debian (Unstable) GNU/Linux 2.6.12-rc4-mm2 2x6017 bogomips load 0.02
