Hi, recent changes to font set available in NetBSD gave me motivation for finishing some of my projects. Gallery of current available fonts was one[1] and there is second: conversion of venerable Terminus[2] fonts for NetBSD console.
Terminus Font is licensed under the SIL Open Font License (but "Terminus Font" name is restricted for original font author, as far as I understood conditions). I'm not sure that in *.h files should be added annotation that "this is a small subset based on original work". Diff against vanilla -current tree is available under [3], set of options is available here: [4] (kernel built with all of them grows about a 1MB) and gallery made from selected fonts is available here[5]. Of course, root directory is browseable if someone wants individual files[6]. Created subset is byte-to-byte compatible with classic NetBSD font, so code page is IBN cp437 (although in VT100-compatible terminal only small subset of box-characters[8] is available). Why cp437 and not ISO? Because of nostalgia and I think that localised fonts shouldn't be built into kernel but instead available from /usr/share/wscons/fonts/ directory (binary output format is on my TODO list). Conversion was made by my own, quick-made tool, that is available from here[7]. I hope this will be useful to someone. 1 - http://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2019/04/24/msg035646.html 2 - http://terminus-font.sourceforge.net/ 3 - http://smutek.pl/netbsd/wsfont/terminus/wsfont-terminus.diff.gz 4 - http://smutek.pl/netbsd/wsfont/terminus/options.txt 5 - http://smutek.pl/netbsd/wsfont/terminus/gallery/ 6 - http://smutek.pl/netbsd/wsfont/terminus/ 7 - https://github.com/aniou/bdf2wsfont 8 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box-drawing_character Regards, -- Piotr 'aniou' Meyer
