Actually the fonts were built for GNU Emacs 20. They come in as BDF files, with use only for X clients. Since they are pixel fonts they cannot be anti-aliased. And you can't use them for printing, except, maybe, for a (graphical) screen-dump. Unicode encoded TrueType and OpenType fonts are the way, made available via (lib)fontconfig (fc-cache, fc-list, fc-match). -- Greetings Pete Hard Disk, n.: A device that allows users to delete vast quantities of data with simple mnemonic commands.
