INTRODUCTION:
=============
	There are 13 fonts in this directory, named *.fnt after the
corresponding options to the DOS "vfont" program. Here are their
respective descriptions, taken from the vfont documentation:

     
     FONTS
     -----
     s.fnt          Solid-line, swiss font.  A san-serif font.  Solid-line
                    means double-line line-drawing characters are rendered
                    as a thicker solid line.
     sd.fnt         Swiss-double, san-serif  with the double-line line-
                    drawing characters as they are in the default font.
     r.fnt          Roman, complete with varying character line widths,
                    serifs, and numbers that are non-lining (i.e. extend
                    below the baseline).
     ro.fnt         Roman Oblique, a variation on Roman.
     rl.fnt         Roman Large, a taller version of Roman.
     mu.fnt         Muchery (TM) a wide, san-serif font.
     ml.fnt         Muchery Large, a taller version of Muchery.
     t.fnt          Tektite, a "Architect" style font.
     c.fnt          Clouds, a tall hybrid font.
     b.fnt          Blockx, a very large and bold san-serif font.
     m.fnt          Moderne, a highly stylized art-deco/moderne font.
     mr.fnt         Moderne Round, a rounded version of Moderne.
     sc.fnt         Scrawl, a handwritten-looking "scrawled" font.
                    Peoples' reaction to this font ranges from horror to
                    delight.  Personally, I like it (for short stretches
                    anyway) it makes the computer screen less perfect and
                    even, more organic.
                    Even if you don't like it, its a great gag font - put
                    it on your co-workers computer today!  Scrawl is an
                    extensively re-worked version of a public-domain font
                    (which had no name).

SOURCE:
=======

These fonts were taken from version 5.10 of the DOS - OS/2 program called
"vfont". It can be found via anon ftp on many sites as "vfont2.zip" which
is 29312 bytes. In this version of the program, the fonts are seperated
from the DOS "vfont.com" program, and hence are easy to recover in a 
Linux useable format. They are stored as 13 consecutive 4096 byte font
records in the file "vfont.dat". See the file "SCRIPT" if you want to 
know how to derive them from this file.
