Description-en: 100 dpi fonts for X
xfonts-100dpi provides a set of bitmapped fonts at 100 dots per inch. In
most cases it is desirable to have the X font server (xfs) and/or an X server
installed to make the fonts available to X clients.
.
This package contains only fonts in the ISO 10646-1 and ISO 8859-1
encodings, to conserve disk space. For other encodings, see the
xfonts-100dpi-transcoded package.
.
This package and xfonts-75dpi provide the same set of fonts, rendered at
different resolutions; only one or the other is necessary, but both may be
installed. xfonts-100dpi may be more suitable for large monitors and/or
large screen resolutions (over 1024x768).
.
This package requires the xfonts-utils package to prepare the font
directories for use by an X server or X font server.
