The Ultimate Oldschool PC Font Pack started out with the idea of paying tribute
to ancient PCs and their bitmapped, pre-GUI typography (if you can call it
that). It was inspired by similar efforts that cover other vintage machines:
classic system fonts from the Amiga, C64, Apple II, Mac, ZX Spectrum,
Atari 8-bit/ST etc. are all celebrated. On the other hand, the IBM PC and its
clones seem to get little love... except for that one VGA text mode font
(which has been remade numerous times, to varying degrees of success).
This collection is here to remedy that, and to bring you pixel-perfect remakes
of various type styles from text-mode era PCs - in modern, multi-platform,
Unicode-compatible TrueType form (plus straight bitmap versions).
Although the goal is to make it a complete resource, the main focus is on
hardware/firmware character sets: the kind that's located in a ROM chip on
the system board or graphics card, which is what you'd see by default when
working in text (or graphics) mode. Software-loadable fonts are also within
the scope of this collection (if associated with a particular machine or
display system), so some of these have also made it in.
===> The following configuration options are available for oldschool-pc-fonts-2.2_2:
====> Font sets: you have to choose at least one of them
AC=on: Aspect-corrected fonts
BM=on: Bitmap fonts
MX=on: Mixed outline+bitmap fonts
PX=on: Pixel outline fonts
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
Reason:
x11-fonts/oldschool-pc-fonts has been upgraded to 2.2. This version
changed names of many fonts. If you have configuration files with
specific font names set, you need to update your configurations
after upgrade.
Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.
