> Xorg's ancestor (X11R1, in 1987) at first only provided bitmap fonts, > with a tool (bdftopcf) to assist in their installation. With the > introduction of xorg-server-1.19.0 and libXfont2 many people will not > need them. There are still a few old packages which might require, or > benefit from, these deprecated fonts and so the following packages are > shown here. > > ### Note ### > > The font-adobe-100dpi package installs 100 dots per inch versions of > Courier, Helvetica, New Century Schoolbook and Times fonts. > > The remaining font packages here provide 75dpi versions of those fonts, > and various miscellaneous fonts - mostly for legacy encodings. Those are > primarily to silence warnings when testing Xorg. In previous versions of > BLFS a lot more legacy fonts were installed. > > Please consult the BLFS-7.10 book at > http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/7.10/x/x7font.html if you wish > to install any of those other fonts. Compare the fonts [1][2], and only install the fonts listed in BLFS 8.0.
