fonts with the installation of the DECwindows Server component.
The following fonts are now available along with the installation
of the core set of 100 dpi, 75 dpi, and common font sets:

OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3-2 includes the iType font rendering technology
from Agfa Monotype Corporation along with a number of scalable fonts, including
the Albany, Cumberland, Screen, and Thorndale type families. These
fonts are identical in screen and printer metrics to the Windows
core fonts Arial, Courier, and Times New Roman. Agfa Monotype Windows-compatible
fonts are part of the Enhanced Screen Quality (ESQ) line of TrueType fonts
optimized for viewing at any resolution. For more information about the iType technology, see the Agfa

font families.
Previously undocumented fonts These fonts include the 75-dpi, 100-dpi, and common

Glyph, and VT330 font families, as well as a set of language-specific
and miscellaneous fonts. Also included are the Bitstream Speedo,

Font sets that support the euro currency symbol, which were
formerly provided through a separate remedial kit, are also available
during installation of the DECwindows Server component. You can
either choose to install the fonts as part of the default installation
or choose the Euro Base Support option during a custom installation.

to make them available for use.

for instructions on enabling the euro font sets, as well as the
file location and X logical Font Descriptions (XLFDS) for the new
fixed-width and scalable fonts.
