15 Wow, kdebase-2.2, that is /really/ old! =:^)

17 Thanks. I actually have the (two, 8x16, 8x8) fonts available, here, but
18 they're simply orphaned files. If I'm to create an ebuild for it,
19 finding a publicly available tarball to use for SRC_URI was essential.
20 And a kde2 era tarball is likely smaller than a kde3 era tarball.
21 Grabbing the whole kdebase tarball for two little files seems rather a
22 waste, but might as well make that waste as little as possible! =:^P But
23 I don't know if I'd have thought to go back to kde2 without your post.
