I once new a little about what the font notations like below meant: -bitstream-terminal-bold-r-normal--18-140-100-100-c-110-iso8859-1 But have lost some of it out of my pea brain. I know the `-c-' bit means its good for my use .. and that `iso8859-1' puts it in my neck of the woods but more of the exact meaning has left town. I hoped someone here can steer me to URL or such that explains it in detail. My googling hasn't gotten the close details even though I found this: https://twiserandom.com/unix/x11-fonts-a-tutorial/index.html#X11_core_font_system Tells quite a lot but still haven't learnt the details I want. The meaning of -c-, -m-, -p- and more. Something that explains each notation in detail is what I'm after.
