"fixed" PCF font.
Patches remove the reference to bdftruncate (never used) and mkfontscale
(bitmap fonts only). Perl is not needed any longer as site effect and
should have never been checked for in first place.
This are the standard X11 cursors. Package is modified not to use
mkfontscale as it doesn't deal with scalable fonts. configure.ac
patch is included for easier upstream merging.
The mkcfm tool creates summaries of font metric files in CID font
directories. Those summaries speed up the CID rasterizer as it
doesn't have to read the usually large font metric files on access
to compute them.
The bdftopcf tool converts X fonts from Bitmap Distribution Format
to Portable Compiled Format.
Fonts in the Portable Compiled Format can be read by any architecture,
although the file is structured to allow one particular
architecture to read them directly without reformatting. This
allows fast reading on the appropriate machine, but the files
are still portable (but read more slowly) on other machines.
The package provides the X.org font encoding files, such as
adobe-dingbats.enc.gz, ibm-cp866.enc, jisx0212.1990-0.enc.gz,
and others. This is from the modular X.org project.
