My request for current:

terminus font 4.46.0. Need for update and include for use by default into slackware boot disks.

and

terminus-ttf 4.46.0:

# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.

Here's an initial attempt at an updated vulkan-sdk 1.1 SlackBuild. I haven't tried installing it and building stuff against it yet, but it does build a package that has the right files and that otherwise looks right.

Do you mean that the ttf version also should be included in the installer? To be useful that'd need either to ship X or a framebuffer like fbterm. I did the latter in Slint 14.1 but that needs to include additional stuff, not only a font. Also they themselves say that the ttf version one is ugly...

Not TTF! I meant the original terminus font! It is still not in the standard supply of Slackware installer.

Also, maybe included into Slackware 15.0 x264 and x265 codecs from videolan.org

The software that will need to be rebuilt for use latest version of GStreamer:

pidgin
tumbler

And army of software, that uses pulseaudio.

To speed up the build, listen to this:

Its works :-\

@Ne01eX

Before talking with enthusiasm about things like x264 and x265, you considered a bit the PATENTS issues?

Of course, I heard even myself that in Russian is no such word for "Copyright", BUT bear in mind that the Slackware, Inc. is a company based in Minnesota, The Capitalist America.

1. Copyright ≠ (is not equal) patents. Russia recognizes copyright and protects the rights of any authors.
2. Russia does not recognize the existence of patents for software algorithms. NEVER. :-)
3. Software patents — Obstacles to software development. See this article by Richard Stallman for more details. Also, good idea of look this page.
4. Welcome to Russia. :-)

P.S. I realized why Slackware still does not have some codecs. Discussion closed. Request is nulled. :-)

2. Please apply my patch to setconsolefont (in attachment). This patch updates the list of console fonts available in Slackware Linux. :-)

I apologize for my poor English and for the incorrect wording of the previous request for terminus-font.

I'd rather suggest to get rid of setconsolefont and just set a terminus font by default.

I attach the script we source in the Slint installer in other scripts for several settings, see in it the functions SeTFonts and PutFonts, however as the Slackware installer is only in English it can be simpler: just use ter-120b if there is no framebuffer, else ter-116b and don't bother the user with a choice between a zillion fonts.

/etc/rc.d/rc.font can always be edited after installation to change the font and/or its size.

GazL · 03-20-2018, 06:32 PM

I'm inclined to agree with Didier. Most of the consolefonts are unusable. There really doesn't seem much point in giving people the option of choosing them when no one will want to.

Personally, I like a slightly larger font so I use ter-v22b which gives me a nicely sized 124x34 console on a 1366x768 laptop screen.

I use ter-v* because it provides support for more glyphs than ter-1*
