Tamzen font

This is my personal fork of the wonderful Tamsyn font by Scott Fial. It is programatically forked from Tamsyn version 1.9 by the Tamzen.rb script (needs gem install grit library) and diverges from it in the following ways:

• Medium "g" is backported from Tamsyn 1.6.
• Medium "h" is backported from Tamsyn 1.6.
• Medium "m" is backported from Tamsyn 1.6.
• Bold and medium "l" are backported from Tamsyn 1.6.
• Bold and medium "w" are backported from Tamsyn 1.6.
• Bold and medium "y" are backported from Tamsyn 1.6.
• Deliberately empty glyphs are deleted (marked as unimplemented) so that they do not block secondary fonts from supplying real glyphs at those codepoints.

For the new 10x20 size introduced in Tamsyn 1.9:

• Medium "U" is manually derived from Tamsyn 1.6.
• Bold and medium "g" are manually derived from Tamsyn 1.6.

Installation

Copy the Tamzen*.bdf files into your ~/.fonts directory and run:

mkfontdir ~/.fonts
xset +fp ~/.fonts
xset fp rehash

Now you should be able to access the "Tamzen" font family in xfontsel.

URxvt integration

The following aliases let you dynamically switch between the various Tamzen fonts when run inside a shell that is attached to the URxvt terminal.
