I don't need anything fancy regarding font's. My apps are all scientific and ASCII based, I have no interest in unicode.
I have my own polygon library, I already transcribe each ASCII character into sets of vertex arrays in my Windows version. I guess I can just save these as ASCII files and reload them into the Linux version as pre-calculated polygons and scale them as necessary.
I'm surprised my net trawl didn't turn up any pre calculated fonts for general use.
