Why would you need fonts in a terminal?
If you're starting to use big GPL libs then there will be Freetype, then Cairo, then OpenSSL, and so on (for example, ofcourse) - where there is one, there will likely be many.
Do you plan to include it all into your project?
From my point of view keeping only the changed files/diffs in the VCS/releases is the best option - if someone can download yours, they can also download the other libs by provided links.
Then, copy over/patch, and build, or copy into, make image, run.

Re: Porting large programs
Is this directed at me? I use fonts in my terminal because it allows a lot more lines/columns per screen than the VGA font. That, and my terminal emulator is used for both PTYs and GUI terminals, and people expect the option of fonts in a GUI terminal (like xterm).Artlav wrote:Why would you need fonts in a terminal?
