[PATCH] New framebuffer fonts + updated 12x22 font available
Improve the fonts for use with the framebuffer.
I've added all the characters marked 'FIXME' in the sun12x22 font and
created a 10x18 font (based on the sun12x22 font) and a 7x14 font (based
on the vga8x16 font).
This patch is non-intrusive, no options are enabled by default so most
users won't notice a thing.
I am placing my changes under the GPL, however, I've not seen any copyright
notices on the sun12x22 font and the vga8x16 font which I derived my new
fonts from so I don't know what the copyright status is.
