Convert the venerable AT&T UNIX PC font to the modern BDF bitmap format
The unixpc-system.8.bdf
font file that this tool produces has, for your convenience, been committed to the root of this respoitory. The font makes your Linux terminal look charmingly like the classic UNIX desktop machine of yore:
I want to thank Timothy Allen for his library bdflib which made this project not only possible but also fun.
Create your ~ / .fonts
directory if it does not already exist, install the BDF font file from this repository, and activate ~ / .fonts
as an X Windows font directory. An xterm
should then be able to use the font:
mkdir -p ~ / .fonts wget -P ~ / .fonts https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brandon-rhodes/unixpc-font-bdf/master/unixpc-system.8.bdf mkfontdir ~ / .fonts xset fp ~ / .fonts xset fp rehash xterm -fa '' -font '-unixpc-system- *' -fb '-unixpc-system- *'
