standard fonts for X
xfonts-base provides a standard set of low-resolution bitmapped fonts. In most cases it is desirable to have the X font server (xfs) and/or an X server installed to make the fonts available to X clients.
This package contains primarily fonts in the ISO 10646-1 and ISO 8859-1 encodings, to conserve disk space. (A small selection of fonts in ISO 8859-8, JIS-X0208.1983, JIS-X0208.1976, and GB2312.1980 fonts are also included.) For other encodings, see the xfonts-base-transcoded package.
If you are not using a remote font server, you must install this package if you are installing an X server. It contains fonts without which X servers will not work.
This package also provides a set of files that can be used by the X or fonts server to transcode fonts from one encoding to another (e.g., KOI8-R to ISO-8859-5).
This package requires the xutils package to prepare the font directories for use by an X server or X font server.
