June 14, 1992. + +... +I have included two sample fonts, one written by myself and the other +by Dimitri Vulis (dlv@cunyvms1.BITNET). Both are in the public +domain. My font, 972.cp, is a Hebrew font. The other is 880.cp, a +Cyrilic font (Russian etc.). + +The Hebrew font uses the same encoding scheme as the VT-100's in +Israel, so any software that works on those will now run on Linux +(e.g., my hebrew.el package for GNU Emacs). + +I'm told 880.cp follows the relevent Russian standard, so I suppose it +does. + +This package, while (c) 1992 by Joel M.
