+gohu-font (monospace bitmap font for X)
+
+Gohufont is a monospace bitmap font well suited for programming
+and terminal use. It is intended to be very legible and offers very
+discernable glyphs for all characters, including signs and symbols.
+
+After installing, run "xset fp rehash" to get old-style X apps (such as
+xterm) to see the fonts. Then try e.g. "xterm -fn gohu14".
+
+Optional dependency: bdf2psf.
+
+To include console fonts for framebuffer use, install misc/bdf2psf before
+running this SlackBuild script. The console fonts will be installed as
+/usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/gohufont-*, and can be displayed via the
+setfont command. To use as system default, edit /etc/rc.d/rc.font and
+change the setfont line there. Don't forget to make rc.font executable.
