Hi all!

Where can I get more information related to the screen fonts used by Linux
to display text on the console? If I set a font say t.fnt on my machine,
how is it possible (if at all) to use the same font on some machine which
is telnetting into my machine?

What I am mainly interested is the formats of the various fonts i.e. the
.fnt, .psf (is it postscript),.cp etc. ? Is it possible to convert fonts
in metafont to the consolefonts? are any utilities available?

Any pointers to the above will be most welcome.

Thanks a lot,

sachin
