It is primarily +intended to be the single source of fonts for console and for XDosEmu. + +One of the aims while creating the font was its internal consistency. For +example, accented glyphs shouldn't differ too much from unaccented ones, +as it was in original IBM's VGA font. It also allowed to render Latin +Extended Additional glyphs with two accents, which was impossible with +IBM's accents' size. + +X11 calls the font "-bolkhov-vga-medium-r-normal--16-160-75-75-c-80-iso10646-1" +and an alias called "univga" is added, so you can say e.g. "xterm -fn univga". + +Also 3 varieties of the font are installed for use with the Linux console: +AsianCyr-vga-8x16, WinCyr-vga-8x16, and UniCyrX-vga-8x16. They can be +used in /etc/rc.d/rc.font, but won't show up in the setconsolefont menu. |
