profont-x11-2.ebuild

Description Lars Kotthoff 2008-04-24 08:18:15 UTC
Please find attached an ebuild for the ProFont (http://www.tobias-jung.de/seekingprofont/) programming font.

Apart from just copying the pcf font files and generating the necessary metadata, the ebuild also offers the option to compress the pcf files via the gzip USE flag.

I suggest media-fonts as location.

Fixed upstream URL: https://tobiasjung.name/profont/

Latest packaged release is from 2009-11: https://tobiasjung.name/downloadfile.php?file=profont-otb.7z

Interestingly, Wikipedia has an article on this font: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ProFont

I meant the latest release was from 2019-11, not 2009.
