+oldschool-pc-fonts (remakes of PC text mode fonts)
+
 The Ultimate Oldschool PC Font Pack brings you pixel-perfect remakes of
 various type styles from text-mode era PCs - in modern, multi-platform,
-Unicode-compatible TrueType form.
+Unicode-compatible TrueType form, and/or as Linux .psfu console fonts.
+
+By default, the package will include TrueType fonts. To also include
+console fonts, install graphics/psftools before running this script.
+If you only want console fonts, set TTF=no in the script's environment.
+See README_console.txt for more information.

+
+If psftools is installed when oldschool-pc-fonts.SlackBuild is run,
+the .FON fonts in the upstream zip file will be converted to .psfu fonts
+and installed in /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts.
+
+If you have psftools installed and *don't* want this package to include
+console fonts, you can set CONSOLE=no in the script's environment.
+
+The console font filenames begin with Bm_437. You can try them out in
+the console with a command like:
+
+setfont -v Bm437_IBM_MDA_10
+
+...in other words, the filename, minus the path and .psfu extension.
+
+When you find a font you like, edit /etc/rc.d/rc.font, and add
+the font name to the "setfont" command there. Also run "chmod +x
+/etc/rc.d/rc.font".
+
+The new fonts *do not* show up in the menu shown by the Slackware
+"setconsolefont" utility, since it uses a hard-coded list of fonts.
+
+Since these fonts were designed for displays from the 1970s and 80s, you
+might find them too small to read on modern high-resolution systems. If
+so, you can use a 'video=' kernel argument in /etc/lilo.conf to change
+the default resolution of the console. Also you may be able to use fbset
+to change the resolution without rebooting, but this doesn't work on some
+(most?) modern video hardware.
+
+Unicode support is pretty sparse with these fonts. They only support the
+glyphs found in the MS-DOS codepage 437 character set, although they do
+include Unicode mappings so that e.g. codepoint U263A is rendered as a
+smiley face (aka character code 1, in codepage 437). You should get a
+full set of box-drawing characters for use with 'dialog', at least.
+
+For the full character set supported, see:
+
+https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codepage_437
