- Well, I'm really surprised this isn't a FAQ, but I have a question about
- font formats: like, what are the differences between them. I often hear
- references to 'bdf' and the sun here uses 'pcf' and my terminal requires
- 'snf'. Is there any way to get the terminal (Visual TX100M) to read the
- PCF fonts? Or will we just have to bite down and use the disk space (at
- least it can read compressed files!)
-
- thanks,
