<title>Introduction to Xorg Legacy</title>
<para><application>Xorg</application>&apos;s ancestor (X11R1, in 1987) at
first only provided bitmap fonts, with a tool (<command>bdftopcf</command>)
to assist in their installation. With the introduction of
<application>xorg-server-1.19.0</application>
and <application>libXfont2</application> many people will not need them.
There are still a few old packages which might require, or benefit from,
these deprecated fonts and so the following packages are shown here.</para>
<note>
<para>
The font-adobe-100dpi package installs 100 dots per inch versions of
Courier, Helvetica, New Century Schoolbook and Times fonts.
</para>
<para>
The remaining font packages here provide 75dpi versions of those fonts,
and various miscellaneous fonts - mostly for legacy encodings. Those are
primarily to silence warnings when testing Xorg. In previous versions
of BLFS a lot more legacy fonts were installed.
</para>
<para revision="sysv">
Please consult the BLFS-7.10 book at <ulink
url="http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/7.10/x/x7font.html"/>
if you wish to install any of those other fonts.

<title>Downloading Xorg Legacy</title>
<para>First, create a list of files to be downloaded. This file will also
be used to verify the integrity of the downloads when complete:</para>

<para>To download the needed files using <application>wget</application>,
use the following commands:</para>
<screen><userinput>mkdir legacy &amp;&amp;
cd legacy &amp;&amp;
