gohu-font (monospace bitmap font for X)

Gohufont is a monospace bitmap font well suited for programming
and terminal use. It is intended to be very legible and offers very
discernable glyphs for all characters, including signs and symbols.

After installing, run "xset fp rehash" to get old-style X apps (such as
xterm) to see the fonts. Then try e.g. "xterm -fn gohu14".

Optional dependency: bdf2psf.

To include console fonts for framebuffer use, install misc/bdf2psf before
running this SlackBuild script. The console fonts will be installed as
/usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/gohufont-*, and can be displayed via the
setfont command. To use as system default, edit /etc/rc.d/rc.font and
change the setfont line there. Don't forget to make rc.font executable.
