Spleen is a set of monospaced bitmap fonts in five sizes from 5x8 to 32x64 and is 2-clause BSD licensed.
Prepare to make spleen fonts available for vt(4) in the base system, in particular to support hi-resolution (e.g. 4K) monitors.

This detached license is basically required since bdf files don't have a good way to add it.

well, it could be in the files, but it's unambiguous enough. I assume this is how it is upstream?

This needs to be updated to 1.5.0 which adds Latin Extended-A chars and box drawing characters(!), so dialog(1) looks right now and the window separator is actually drawn in tmux(1).

Spleen 1.6.0 has been released a few days ago --> https://github.com/fcambus/spleen/blob/1.6.0/ChangeLog. It would be a nice Christmas gift for 4K monitor users to add this font to the base.

In D20654, tobik raised the concern that new releases of Spleen still happened regularly at the time this differential was opened, which was indeed a valid concern in 2019.
At this point though, Spleen is mostly in maintenance mode, so this shouldn't be a problem anymore. For info, I released Spleen 1.9.2 yesterday, which is a maintenance release updating the build scripts and documentation. The last modifications on the BDF files themselves happened in March 2021.
Hoping to see this differential finally be committed :-)
