xfonts-traditional 1.7 (ppc64el binary) in ubuntu vivid

 Provides "traditional" versions of fixed-width fonts.
 .
 These are a set of 6x13 fonts (including "fixed"), with foundry name
 "trad" instead of "misc", with several glyphs replaced with earlier
 versions from before Markus Kuhn's changes:
  - balanced ` '
  - less tall [ ] ( ) { }
  - centred *
  - high ~
  - slightly higher &
  - traditional appearance of W a
 .
 These changes make the fonts compatible with the US-ASCII character
 set. (UTF-8 is not compatible with ASCII in its usage of the
 backquote and some other characters.) With these fonts, pre-2000
 documents (including ASCII art and GNU manuals) will render
 correctly.
 .
 Optionally, this package will edit your system configuration to make
 the default fonts used by xterm refer to the traditional font.
 .
 (This package does not actually contain the bulk of the font data;
 rather, it automatically generates the required modified fonts for
 each relevant font you have installed.)
