                        The FINAL CUT newfont
          A graphical text font for X11 and the Linux console
----------------------------------------------------------------------


How can I use the new graphical font under the Linux text console?
------------------------------------------------------------------

Simply start your program with the parameter `--newfont`.


How can I use the new graphical font under X11?
-----------------------------------------------

The use of the new graphical font under X11 is only possible with 
the terminal emulators xterm or urxvt, because only these terminal 
emulators can change the font by using an escape sequence.
For an xterm, the "Allow Font Ops" option must be set.

Install the gzip compressed X11 pcf bitmap font 8x16graph.pcf.gz on your xserver:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Create as user root the font directory

   mkdir /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/finalcut/


2. Copy the files 8x16graph.pcf.gz, fonts.dir and fonts.alias
   into the just created directory

   cp 8x16graph.pcf.gz fonts.dir fonts.alias /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/finalcut/


3. Add the new dir to X font path

   xset fp+ /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/finalcut/

   (You can insert this command into the ~/.xinitrc to make the 
   font path permanently usable)


4. Check if the font is available to the xserver

   xlsfonts | grep 8x16graph


5. Start your program with the parameter --newfont

   ui --newfont
