1 This directory provides bitmaps with the same size and naming

2 conventions as those distributed till xboard-3.**

6 The bitmaps contained herein were converted from my MetaFont
\r
7 version of chess font. These are designed very well to deliver
\r
8 good rastered images on low resolution devices. The general
\r
9 shape of these fonts are designed after very old typefaces
\r
10 used in printing chess books. They are not as fancy as the
\r
11 currently used bitmaps of xboard, but I like them in their
\r
12 'san serif'-ness - may be others too.
\r
13 The MetaFont source of this font may be obtained from me

\r
15 To convert the pk-Files to bitmaps I used the conversion tool
\r
16 mftobdf to generate X11-bdf - fonts, and then used a small C
\r
17 program, to write the xbm-files.
