Hi
I read somewhere that DSL (Dam Small Linux) is removing the bitmap fonts entirely from the system.
Since so many high quality TrueType fonts are available, it is a waste of space to still have bitmap fonts. Is this on the todo list of grml as well?
thanks

Which bitmap fonts do you find on grml?

Here is a not-complete list of bitmap fonts used in grml 0.8 release candidate 1 (I think they are bitmap fonts):
xfonts-100dpi - 100 dpi fonts for X xfonts-100dpi-transcoded - 100 dpi fonts for X (transcoded from ISO 10646-1) xfonts-75dpi - 100 dpi fonts for X xfonts-75dpi-transcoded - 75 dpi fonts for X (transcoded from ISO 10646-1)
I think there are 2 or 3 more but I can't remember.

Thanks. I will take a look at it after grml 0.8 has been released.
