Jibz's Tools / Dina for Linux/X11 - solved !

« on: March 22, 2007, 06:33 PM »

Hallo,

I just wanted to let you know that I finally managed to create a set of .BDF and .PCF files
that work with Linux X11 in both the "old" X font system as well as with fontconfig

I'd like to share these for every Linux user out there who wants to use the excellent Dina programming
font.
Hence, if somebody feels like hosting two 40K tar.gz files somewhere, please let me know

Jibz's Tools / Dina programming font for X11 use

« on: March 12, 2007, 07:36 AM »

Hi,

recently came across the Dina programming font and for me it's the best font
for coding ever.
It is perfect for Windows, however, I'm using Linux and would like to to ask
if there is any way to make this beautiful font work in X11 and KDE/Gnome.

AFAIK, X11 does not handle Windows .FON files.
Could you point me in some direction as to how to make Dina available on X11/KDE/Gnome?

Thank you
