Actually, I was mistaken. The 9x15 font in BL3
is an iso font (iso646.1991-irv). It's just not
the usual iso font (iso8859-1).

I don't know whether it has extended ascii or not.
I choose it because it was small and looked nice.

Yes, I stripped the four others.

icewm uses several fonts. That's one reason
why BL3 comes with more than one font.

Two fonts is not enough.

Because (in addition to 2 or 3 resolutions) there
are several possible screen sizes -- from a 9-inch
laptop screen to a 21-inch monitor. Moreover, two
of the fonts in BL3 are proportional (the others
are fixed). Plus there is one scaleable font.
I've tried to provide a reasonably comprehensive
set of fonts in the minimum space.

As I said above, resolution is not the only variable
in font selection. Screen size is just as important.
Cheers,
Steven
