-This directory contains PNGs built from a couple of open source fonts: the
-sans serif Liberation Mono Regular and the serif Luxi Mono Regular, in 12-,
-14, and 24-point versions. All of these font files have anti-aliasing (aka
-font smoothing) applied. The directory also includes the original rEFInd
-font, which is a 12-point un-smoothed Times-like font.
-
-If you want to create your own fonts, you can do so. If you're using Linux,
-the mkfont.sh script will convert an installed MONOSPACE font into a
-suitable format. You can use it like this:
-
-./mkfont.sh Liberation-Mono-Italic 14 -1 liberation-mono-italic-14.png
-
-The result is a PNG file, liberation-mono-italic-14.png, that you can copy
-to your rEFInd directory and load with the "font" token in refind.conf, as
-in:
-
-font liberation-mono-italic-14.png
-
-The mkfont.sh script takes four arguments:
-
-- The font name. Type "convert -list font | less" to obtain a list of
-  fonts available on your computer. Note, however, that rEFInd requires
-  MONOSPACED (fixed-width) fonts, and most of the fonts installed on most
-  computers are variable-width.
-
-- The font size in points.
-
-- A y offset. Many fonts require an adjustment up (negative values), or
-  occasionally down (positive values) to fit in the PNG image area. You'll
-  have to use trial and error to get this to work.
-
-- The output filename.
-
-I recommend checking the PNG file in a graphics program like eog before
-using it. Note that the font files should have an alpha layer, which many
-graphics program display as a gray-and-white checkered background.
-
-If you're not using Linux, or if you want to use some other method of
-generating fonts, you can do so. The font files must be in PNG format (the
-BMP format doesn't support an alpha layer, which is required for proper
-transparency). They must contain glyphs for the 95 characters between ASCII
-32 (space) and ASCII 126 (tilde, ~), inclusive, plus a 96th glyph that
-rEFInd displays for out-of-range characters. To work properly, the
-characters must be evenly spaced and the PNG image area must be a multiple
-of 96 pixels wide, with divisions at appropriate points. In theory, you
-should be able to take a screen shot of a program displaying the relevant
-characters and then crop it to suit your needs. In practice, this is likely
-to be tedious.
