"UmlautLlama" fonts by Scott Lawrence 1986-2005


How to use these fonts...

1. Make a directory in your home directory called .xfonts.
	% cd ~
	% mkdir .xfonts

2. Unzip the "UmlautLlama.tar.gz" file into there
	% gzip -cd ~/UmlautLlamaFonts_0003.tar.gz | tar -xvf -

3. Create the font directory
	% cd UmlautLlamaFonts
	% mkfontdir
	% chmod 644 fonts.dir *.bdf
	
4. Add the font directory into your x-server's font path
	% xset fp+ ~/.xfonts/UmlautLlamaFonts/
	% xset fp rehash

5. Make sure the directory was appended to the path
	% xset q
   You should see it listed under "Font Path:"

6. Test it out.
	% xlsfonts | grep -i Commodore
   You should see a bunch of fonts in there (Topaz, Diamond, etc.)
   Start up an xterm and try it out
	% xterm -font -commodore-topaz normal-medium-r-normal--8--96-96-m-70-winsys-1
   This should open an x-term with the topaz serif font.


I've found that putting step 4 into my .xinitrc file works really well.  
Then I can use the fonts in my window manager and all applciations 
every time I restart the X server.

For each original font, there are 6 bdf fonts:
	XLFD Name	    filename		description
	---------	    --------		-----------
	topaz normal	    (topaz_8.bdf)	original (8px tall)
	topaz double	    (topaz_8_dbl.bdf)	height-doubled (16px tall)
	topaz scanline	    (topaz_8_scn.bdf)	scanlines (16px tall)
	topaz normal 1h	    (topaz_8+1.bdf)	same as above, 1px taller
	topaz double 1h	    (topaz_8_dbl+1.bdf)	same as above, 2px taller
	topaz scanline 1h   (topaz_8_scn+1.bdf)	same as above, 2px taller


For the scanline modes, rather than having the pixel rows repeated
in alternating lines, blank rows are added in alternating lines.

For the +1/1h modes, an extra scanline is added between characters
to enhance readability.  (The non +1/1h modes are exactly how the
data is stored in the original font, but these might be more useful
for modern applications.)
