- Fragment of the "readme" file in Joel Hoffman's codepage.tar.Z
- ==============================================================
-
- File readme. June 14, 1992.
-
- ...
- I have included two sample fonts, one written by myself and the other
- by Dimitri Vulis (dlv@cunyvms1.BITNET). Both are in the public
- domain. My font, 972.cp, is a Hebrew font. The other is 880.cp, a
- Cyrilic font (Russian etc.).
-
- The Hebrew font uses the same encoding scheme as the VT-100's in
- Israel, so any software that works on those will now run on Linux
- (e.g., my hebrew.el package for GNU Emacs).
-
- I'm told 880.cp follows the relevent Russian standard, so I suppose it
- does.
-
- This package, while (c) 1992 by Joel M. Hoffman, can be used as freely
- as any other part of Linux.
-
- Files:
- 972.cp Font data for 25-line Hebrew font.
- 880.cp Font data for Cyrilic font.
-
- ===========================================================
-
- Elsewhere I found fonts 880-14.psf, 880-16.psf, 972-14.psf, 972-16.psf,
- but these turn out to come from 880.cp and 972.cp, and since setfont
- now also understands *.cp files I deleted the four abovementioned fonts.

- ...
- I developed the Latin-1 *.psf fonts; Pavel Zaboj did the Latin-2
- ones. SLS took them directly from Pavel's national package.
- A DOS-hosted PSF font editor is available on eecs.nwu.edu.
-
- Daniel Quinlan sent a new version of lat1-16.psf due to hpa and him.
-
- Primoz Peterlin <peterlin@biofiz.mf.uni-lj.si> corrected lat2-??.psf.
