+ttf-console-fonts, by B. Watson <yalhcru@gmail.com>.
+
+Licensed under the WTFPL. See http://www.wtfpl.net/txt/copying/ for details.
+
+ttf-console-fonts is a collection of Linux console fonts, converted from
+various TrueType fonts found in a typical Linux install.
+
+No TTF fonts are included here. Instead, the ones installed on your system
+(usually in /usr/share/fonts/TTF) are used. Also, I don't include prebuilt
+console fonts because I'm not so sure the licensing allows it (dammit,
+I'm a doc... uh, programmer, not a lawyer).
+
+The name is slightly misleading: obviously the console doesn't support
+TTF, only bitmap fonts in PSF format. What this package does is convert
+various TTFs into the PSF (aka .psfu) bitmapped font format used by
+the kernel.
+
+Notice that these are framebuffer fonts. Pretty much everyone these
+days is likely to be using the framebuffer console (thanks to kernel
+modesetting and Xorg's requirement for it). If you're somehow still using
+a VGA textmode console, only fonts 8 or 9 pixels wide are supported.
+For this package, that means the ones with "8x" in their filenames.
+
+If the converted fonts don't look the same to you on the console as the
+original fonts do in X, that's because X and most modern X applications
+do subpixel rendering for antialiasing. The Linux console doesn't support
+this at all.
+
+Another difference between TTF and console fonts: only 512 glyphs are
+allowed per console font. This means Unicode support will be limited.
+The generated fonts include the full ASCII set, plus Latin-1 (aka
+ISO-8859-1) and at least partial support for Latin-2. If your requirements
+are different, change SETS in conv.sh (read the bdf2psf documentation,
+and possibly the source code, to understand how this stuff works). One
+useful piece of information: the same glyph can represent more than one
+Unicode codepoint (if they have the same appearance, e.g. C in Latin
+and Cyrillic).
+
+Requirements:
+  - bdf2psf
+  - otf2bdf
+  - psftools
+
+For Slackware, the above are available on SlackBuilds.org. For Debian
+or Ubuntu, try apt-getting them.
+
+"Core system" requirements (included in Slackware, may need installing
+if you're on Debian/etc):
+
+  - fontconfig
+  - freetype2
+  - perl
+  - stuff like coreutils and bash
+  - whatever fonts are listed in the file 'fonts', of course.
+
+To build the fonts, simply run "make". If you get errors, especially
+"command not found" or "no such file or directory", you're missing a
+requirement (see above).
+
+After they're built, the fonts will have filenames like:
+
+dejavusansmono-8x12.psfu.gz
+
+The "8x12" is the pixel size (NOT the point size).
+
+If you're running in the console, you can test out the fonts by loading
+them with "setfont". If the results look OK, you can install the fonts via
+"make install" (if you're making a distro package, DESTDIR is supported).
+
+On Slackware, you can edit /etc/rc.d/rc.font to set the default system
+font to whichever one you like best. Don't forget to make rc.font
+executable. I have no idea how to set the default console font on other
+distributions (sorry).
+
+If you want to try converting other fonts, edit the file "fonts". The font
+names there are whatever "fc-list" calls the font. You can probably use
+wildcards or inexact matches (fc-list is pretty user-friendly). Whatever
+fonts you choose *must* be TrueType or OpenType (.ttf or .otf). They
+also *must* be "monospace" or "fixed width". Trying to convert
+proportional/variable-width fonts will "work", but the result won't be
+very pleasing to look at.
+
+If you don't like the sizes I picked, you can set SIZES in the
+environment. It's a space-separated list of point sizes. Example:
+
+SIZES="6 9 12 15" make
+
+Don't get too crazy with the cheez-wiz: the kernel (or at least the
+setfont command) has a font height limit of 32 rows. And in my testing, I
+found that fonts 31 or 32 rows tall would load, but displayed incorrectly.
+The practical limit (for my system at least) seems to be 30.
+
+The point sizes might be a bit different than they are in X. This is
+because Xorg's Xrandr extension is smart enough to know your monitor's
+actual DPI, and will scale TTFs to the correct size. The otf2bdf utility
+used here could theoretically do the same thing, but it doesn't: it
+just assumes 100x100 DPI. If your monitor doesn't have square pixels,
+this will be even more noticeable.
+
+If you're wondering how many rows/columns of text each font will give you,
+the calculation is simple enough: find out your framebuffer resolution
+(e.g. by running 'fbset' with no arguments), and divide the width of
+the fb by the width of the font (e.g. 1920/15 = 128, throw away any
+remainder). Do the same calculation for the height (e.g. 1080/27 = 40).
+Or, you could just load the font, then:
+
+kill -WINCH $$; echo $COLUMNS $LINES
