A simple 'VGA' fallback font with ASCII and linedrawing characters is
built into uuterm, but in order to appreciate uuterm you need a real
font. uuterm uses 'UCF' (U**code/Ucs/Universal/... Charcell Font) font
-files. The code to generate UCF fonts is not yet mature, but some
-samples (and the extremely ugly compiler) may be found at:
+files. The included ucfcomp tool (nowhere near mature) can generate
+such fonts from a text-based source format. The ytty (pronounced yeti)
+font which I developed for uuterm is now included with the uuterm
+source and will be built during the build process. Further information
+on UCF (mostly outdated) may be found at:

-See the README file there for information on available fonts and how
-to make new fonts. The "compiled" directory there contains precompiled
-fonts, of which the latest version of "ytty" should be the most
-complete and ready-to-use.

By default uuterm runs the default SHELL when started. If you want it
to directly run another program, simply put the name of the program on
the command line, followed by any arguments.
