Description jochen 2004-01-22 08:52:52 UTC
the unifont font includes both single and double width characters. it is common practice to split such fonts in two files.

unifont already contains support for this, the ebuild just doesn't use it.

The best way (IMO) is to install both (the names don't collide): 

make && make -f Makefile.new || die

and in src_install add

doins unifont-f.pcf.gz
doins unifont-h.pcf.gz

uxterm for example cannot use unifont, but it can use the split one
