Collection of SHAREWARE ATM Fonts for Linux
-------------------------------------------

This is a collection of 22 fonts from the CICA archives that are shareware.

NOTICE: They are not free. You have to pay a fee for constant use. They
        are licensed by the authors not by me. Read the <font>.shareware
        notices for each font to find out how to license them. I have just
        collected them and put them into a usable format for X11.

The collection was motivated by the lack of good fonts for Linux especially X11
and ghostscript. Scaled bitmaps look really ugly!

Installation for X11
--------------------

1. Change to /usr/X11/lib/fonts

2. untar the archive sharefonts-0.10.tar.gz

3. Give the following commands to make X11 accept the new fonts

  xset fp+ /usr/X11/lib/fonts/sharefont
  xset fp rehash

4. The fonts are available under X11.
Check them out by running "xfontsel" for example.

HINT: Since there are many fonts especially if you also install the 
      freefonts-package you might want to restrict the fonts from the
      commandline. for example
         xfontsel -pattern "-sharefont-"
      will allow to view only the sharefonts.

If you have any corrections please tell me! Especially if I missed something
about the copyright on one. I did not have the time to hire a lawyer to check
that out <G>.
