1This directory provides bitmaps with the same size and naming 2conventions as those distributed till xboard-3.** 3These bitmaps are distributed under the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE 4coming with xboard. 5 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. 18 195.Feb.1994 Elmar Bartel 20bartel@informatik.tu-muenchen.de 21
