Comic Neue is a set of free fonts providing an alternative to

Pango is the text rendering engine of GNOME 2.x. SDL_Pango connects
the engine to SDL.
If you are a game software developer, you should know the difficulties
of distribution. So I will start to introduce SDL_Pango from the
viewpoint of distribution.
In Un*x, SDL_Pango is hard to use as system-independent module,
because it depends on fontconfig and Pango which are designed as
system-singleton modules. If you use SDL_Pango, your software will
require those modules installed to target system. If your software
is shipped as shrink-wrap package, it may cause much problem on
your support desk. You should carefully design your installation
process.
XBellD is a small daemon for replacing the standard X Window
System terminal bell with a more interesting set of sounds.
This is useful for systems where the terminal bell is handled
by the "PC Speaker," or where different sounds are desired for
different classes of X clients.
XBellD works by intercepting terminal bell requests on the
server side, and then playing user-specified sounds through a
PCM capable soundcard. The resource class of the client making
a terminal bell request is used to match a corresponding sound
file which should be played when such a request is made.

bandwith-effective.
This is the part of X11R3's xcalc(1) utility that features a historic
Slide Rule. This is not taken to be too serious, it's merely a little
fun project for those people who have learned their basics of mathemat-
ics and logarithms by using such a nice ``pocket calculator''.
The original xcalc is from John Bradley, and Mark Rosenstein. A number
of bugs and inaccuracies fixed by Joerg Wunsch.
