Description-en: PSF (console) version of GNU Unifont with APL support
This contains a PSF font (Unifont-APL8x16.psf) as a console frame
buffer font with a subset of Unifont for use with GNU APL and other
APL implementations. The font is installed in "/usr/share/consolefonts/".
This PSF font is only suitable for running in console mode, not under the
X Window System.
.
A PSF font allows a maximum of 512 glyphs. The glyph subset in this
font includes ASCII, Latin-1, "oe" and "OE" ligatures for French, the
Euro sign, Unicode Box Drawing, Unicode Block Elements, plus various
glyphs for APL support and some other miscellaneous glyphs. The font
is monospaced, 8 pixels wide by 16 pixels tall.
.
Consider using the TrueType version instead (ttf-unifont) if you are
not running in console mode, because that version is scalable to any
point size and has proper combining character support.
