Description-en: TrueType conversions of PC ROM fonts
These fonts came from versions of IBM PC and its clones in the DOS era
(1981-1994), embedded in ROM, and used in text modes. They are provided
in a form usable by modern display libraries. Character coverage comes
from taking together many language versions sold regionally, with additional
characters that are expected today drawn in a given font's style.
.
This package includes fonts from machines that have seen the most usage.
For more obscure ones, please install fonts-pc-extra.
