It is +relatively compact to allow a lot of code on screen while clear enough +to remain readable even at high resolutions. + +After the package is installed, X applications using fontconfig will be +able to use the Dina fonts right away. To make them visible to old-style X +apps (such as xterm), run "xset fp rehash" in your X session. After that, +try e.g. "xterm -fn Dina_10" (Dina_6, Dina_8, Dina_9 are also available). + +Optionally, console fonts can be included in the package. To do this, +install psftools before running this SlackBuild. To view the fonts, use +e.g. "setfont Dina_10" (or Dina_6, Dina_8, Dina_9). To use as the system +default, edit /etc/rc.d/rc.font and change the setfont line there. Don't +forget that rc.font needs to be executable. + +Both the X11 and console fonts use the Windows-1252 character set +(compatible with Latin-1). |
