according to the author, pxl2000 is a font focused in readability through terminals, visually distinct characters L, l, 1, 7, |, I, i and 0, O, Ø, o, ø.
This is for sure a nice font for use in *terms, pretty clear and eye pleasant.
I'm a noob to ebuilds, then i have 2 questions:
Some fonts are gzipped, is there any advantage other than save some space doing this?
Is there any way to make the ebuild write in a specific session of a file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf)?
there is some ebuilds that don't do this, (like media-fonts/artwiz-aleczapka-en), nor warn the user about the need to include th e fontpath in xorg.conf, being the font unavaliable until the user edit the file by your own.
Warning, i'm a n00b, i guess there's some errors in this ebuild, even compiling flawlessly to me.
