some happy fonts for X, includes a couple of BIG fonts (bigger than 10x20) which are useful to me in resolutions higher than 800x600. GPL.
From the README:
These are character-cell fonts for use with the X Window System,
created by Jim Knoble. The current list of fonts included in this
package are:
Neep (formerly known as NouveauGothic)
A pleasantly legible variation on the standard fixed fonts that
accompany most distributions of the X Window System. Comes in
both normal and bold weights in small, medium, large,
extra-large, and huge sizes, as well as an extra-small size
that only comes in normal weight. Both ISO-8859-1 and
ISO-8859-2 encodings are available.
Modd
A fixed-width font with sleek, contemporary styling. Normal
and bold weights in a 12-point (6x13) size. ISO-8859-1
encoding only.
[..]
- Changed the name of NouveauGothic to `Neep'. I intended the font
to be mostly practical (i.e., compact but legible), but with some
aesthetic value. `NouveauGothic' is just too damn long a name to
be considered practical---four letters is much more practical.
And, according to my (printed) edition of Webster's New Collegiate
Dictionary:
neep, n. < Anglo-Saxon `næp'; (Scot. and Dial.) A turnip.
What could be more practical than a turnip?
Obviously the name "neep" was well chosen! ;>
