This directory contains BDF fonts that can easily be used with libgo. The original source of the BDF font files is: (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/font)[https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/font]

To add more fonts, you will need to do the following:

Create a new directory in this directory. Note: Do not use dashes since they cannot be used in Golang package subdirectories. Replace and dashes with an underscore.
Copy the Makefile from one of the other examples like adobe_100dpi into your new directory.
Edit your new Makefile and be sure to change the make variables at the top:
- GITLABURL: This should be the base URL where your bdf fonts files can be downloaed
- PACKAGE_NAME: This should the same as your new directory name
- BDF_FILES: This should be a list of each BDF font filename that can be found in the GITLABURL repository.
Run the following command to update the Makefile:
```
make rebuild
```
Then, run make (with no arguments). This will download the BDF files locally, then create a Golang version of the font along with a PNG representation of the first 256 ASCII characters of the font.
Create a pull request if you want to contribute the fonts back to the ilib project.
