A small udeb contribution from an arm-chair developer

2007-04-14 Thread Michael S Peek
Hi guys, Many moons ago I wrote a few small udebs that I found useful. I offered them to the community, but at the time the consensus was that it was too close to the release of Etch and too many people were too busy to deal with it. But at the same time, there seemed to be a few that

It depends on what our default desktop looks like. While ttf-unfonts is a much better choice in antialiased environment (GNOME/KDE) or for printing, it's almost unusable in non-antialiased environment (ie. traditional X apps). That's why baekmuk is used in bf-utf-source, while ttf-unfonts
