# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line # up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' # on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must # make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':'. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| libXfont: libXfont (library for legacy X11 font system) libXfont: libXfont: libXfont provides the core of the legacy X11 font system, handling the libXfont: index files (fonts.dir, fonts.alias, fonts.scale), the various font libXfont: file formats, and rasterizing them. It is used by the X servers, the libXfont: X Font Server (xfs), and some font utilities (bdftopcf for instance), libXfont: but should not be used by normal X11 clients.
