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, including the 'fixed' font, without which X servers will not work.
