A family of manually drawn bitmap fonts.
|
This is a family of manually drawn bitmap fonts.
|
||||||
|
Source files are in BDF format, which is simple and is still supported.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The mission of the project is to provide high quality multilingual font
|
||||||
|
for applications where using of widely available vector fonts
|
||||||
|
is impractical or aestetically unacceptable.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The origin of the name is the word of a latin origin
|
||||||
|
with the meaning "hello" or "greeting gesture"
|
||||||
|
used in some languages (French, Polish, Romanian).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Installation and usage
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
On a Linux graphic environment, you can install them with font installer supplied with your DE,
|
||||||
|
or manually copy them to `.fonts` in your home directory,
|
||||||
|
and then chose the font in system settings.
|
||||||
|
However, in many text rendering libraries they cut away BDF support,
|
||||||
|
so fonts could not be displayed correctly in some applications.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Project structure
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There are several individual fonts in the family. They include:
|
||||||
|
- **Salut Sans**, a proportional font for general use.
|
||||||
|
- **Salut Mono**, a fixed width (monospaced) font designed for terminals.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
They include several sizes and also bold and italic.
|
||||||
|
The monospaced font also include wide (double width) variant.
