I always missed my favourite typewriter font (SGI screen) as an ebuild in portge, so here it is. I couldn't find the fonts on the SGI homepage (maybe they're in the SGI ProPack 3 for Linux), but SuSE provides an RPM containing only the fonts. The license on http://www.suse.com/us/private/products/suse_linux/prof/packages_professional/sgi-fonts.html says "X11/MIT" so I think we can use it.

Category: media-fonts of course

I really hope to see this awesome fonts in portage.

inherit rpm

rpm_src_unpack


I always think we should use a faster method  if it is possible ..
