Xorg Fonts

There are 35 font packages available for Xorg. Once again, the most efficient method of retrieving the source tarballs is to append *.bz2 or *.gz to the URL above.

Alternately, if you chose to use subdirectories, the tarballs can be retrieved as follows. This will prevent multiple versions from being downloaded when multiple versions exist.

 wget http://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/sources/BLFS/svn/x/wget/font-7.1.wget
 cd font
 wget -B http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/font/ -i ../font-7.1.wget
