Edit File: README.Sun
Sun fonts: ============== lat0-sun16.psf lat2-sun16.psf these are fonts which have uniform look and feel compatible with the builtin sun font all sparclinux boxes used to have from beginning (currently it is font_sun8x16 in fbcon), but add characters for latin0, latin1 and latin2. lat0-sun16.psf contains all latin1, latin0 (like latin1, but contains Euro, z<, Z<, s<, S<, Y: instead of some useless characters), VT100 linedrawing characters and as many as possible CP850 characters, lat2-sun16.psf contains full latin2 character set, VT100 linedrawing and most of CP850 characters that fit in. To use these fonts, you should load the ACM mapping of your desired coding, e.g. iso01.acm for latin1, iso15.acm for latin0 with lat0-sun16.psf and iso02.acm or iso02+euro.acm (the latter is a hack which just replaces the useless currency symbol with Euro, I don't know if anybody is going to standardize some ISO character set with CE characters and Euro at the same time). The linedrawing characters are put into the range VGA displays should paint it correctly, so the font should be useful outside of sun boxes as well. Jakub Jelinek <jj@ultra.linux.cz>
