6The bitmaps contained herein were converted from my MetaFont
7version of chess font. These are designed very well to deliver
8good rastered images on low resolution devices. The general
9shape of these fonts are designed after very old typefaces
10used in printing chess books. They are not as fancy as the
11currently used bitmaps of xboard, but I like them in their
12'san serif'-ness - may be others too.
13  The MetaFont source of this font may be obtained from me
14under the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE.
15  To convert the pk-Files to bitmaps I used the conversion tool
16mftobdf to generate X11-bdf - fonts, and then used a small C
17program, to write the xbm-files.
