Collection of SHAREWARE ATM Fonts for Linux ------------------------------------------- This is a collection of 22 fonts from the CICA archives that are shareware. NOTICE: They are not free. You have to pay a fee for constant use. They are licensed by the authors not by me. Read the .shareware notices for each font to find out how to license them. I have just collected them and put them into a usable format for X11. The collection was motivated by the lack of good fonts for Linux especially X11 and ghostscript. Scaled bitmaps look really ugly! Installation for X11 -------------------- 1. Change to /usr/X11/lib/fonts 2. untar the archive sharefonts-0.10.tar.gz 3. Give the following commands to make X11 accept the new fonts xset fp+ /usr/X11/lib/fonts/sharefont xset fp rehash 4. The fonts are available under X11. Check them out by running "xfontsel" for example. HINT: Since there are many fonts especially if you also install the freefonts-package you might want to restrict the fonts from the commandline. for example xfontsel -pattern "*-sharefont-*" will allow to view only the sharefonts.

I did not have the time to hire a lawyer to check that out .
