Charis SIL is a Unicode-based font family that attempts to provide a
comprehensive inventory of glyphs needed for almost any Roman- or
Cyrillic-based writing system, whether used for phonetic or orthographic
needs. In addition, there is provision for other characters and symbols useful
to linguists. This font makes use of state-of-the-art font technologies to
support complex typographic issues, such as the need to position arbitrary
combinations of base glyphs and diacritics optimally.
Charis is similar to Bitstream Charter, one of the first fonts designed
specifically for laser printers. It is highly readable and holds up well in
less-than-ideal reproduction environments. It also has a full set of styles
- regular, italic, bold, bold italic - and so is more useful in general
publishing than Doulos SIL. Charis is a serif, proportionally-spaced font
optimized for readability in long printed documents.
This compact variant has been created with TypeTuner Web, by setting the "Line
spacing" feature to "Tight", and will not be able to be TypeTuned again.

CYR-RFX started as a collection of cyrillic fonts for X-Window
("CYR-RFX" stands for "CYRillic Raster Fonts for X"). Now it includes
several cyrillic encodings and two latin ones (both with Euro sign).
These fonts are modified (mainly with cyrillics added) versions of
standard X-Window fonts from misc/ and 75dpi/.
The fonts included are all *iso8859-1 from misc/, and most important
75dpi/ ones: lu (LucidaSans), lut (LucidaSansTypewriter), tim (Times),
helv (Helvetica) and cour (Courier).
Unlike the standard CYR-RFX' hierarchical install, this port installs
all fonts for the same encoding into a single directory, with combined
fonts.aliases and the new fonts.dir. The default encoding is KOI8-O --
seemingly the most complete of the Cyrillic encodings, compatible (for
most intents and purposes) with KOI8-R and KOI8-U.

to linguists. This font makes use of state-of-the-art font technologies to
support complex typographic issues, such as the need to position arbitrary
combinations of base glyphs and diacritics optimally.
Doulos is very similar to Times/Times New Roman, but only has a single face-
regular. It is intended for use alongside other Times-like fonts where a range
of styles (italic, bold) are not needed.

Programs that generates bold/italic fonts from BDF fonts.
Cursor theme based on Neutral (and jaguarx) theme,
which changes all black cursors to white.
This is an attempt to make an X cursors theme with the (KDE) crystal style,
note that this is very unofficial so may have some inconsistencies with
the original crystal icons.
Bindings to the Xft, X Free Type interface library, and some Xrender parts.
