Xfonts-75dpi provides a set of bitmapped fonts at 75 dots per inch. In most cases it is desirable to have the X font server (xfs) and/or an X server installed to make the fonts available to X clients.

This package contains only fonts in the ISO 10646-1 and ISO 8859-1 encodings, to conserve disk space. For other encodings, see the xfonts-75dpi-transcoded package.

This package and xfonts-100dpi provide the same set of fonts, rendered at different resolutions; only one or the other is necessary, but both may be installed. xfonts-75dpi may be more suitable for small monitors and/or small screen resolutions (under 1024x768).

This package requires the xfonts-utils package to prepare the font directories for use by an X server or X font server.
