Attached is a (very small) VGA font that I have been using with xterm nigh on forever. It doesn't have any of that fancy-schmancy charset or unicode BS, which I guess is why fontconfig is rejecting it: as far as I can tell, it's simply a dump of the BIOS's VGA font bitmap in pcf format. Nonetheless, I really, *really* want to use this with programs like gnome-terminal and evolution that require their fonts come from fontconfig. Needless to say, I find the inability to use this and like fonts (e.g., sabvga, vga11x19, ega, etc.) really irritating to say the least. Is there not anything that can be done to trivially allow fontconfig to make use of these ancient fonts? This is annoying enough to make me want to downgrade to GTK 1.x, which should suggest the level of my irritation. Especially with the VGA font---something my eyes have adjusted to being able to read quickly and effortlessly over the past 15 years---this is basically a requirement for my continued use of GTK 2.x.
