+
+The man:vt[4] console font "gallant" was extended in -CURRENT and 14-STABLE.
+This increased the Unicode glyph count from 502 to more than 4500.
+Old-timers know and love this font from watching Sun SPARCstations boot.
+
+Major additions:
+
+* Greek
+* Cyrillic
+* International Phonetic Association Extensions
+* Extended Latin characters
+* Zapf Dingbats
+* Tons of arrows
+* Tons of mathematical symbols
+* Letterlike symbols and enclosed alphanumerics
+* Pixel-perfect box drawing
+* Currency symbols
+* More punctuation
+* Just enough Katakana to say コンニチハ
+* Powerline glyphs in the Private Use Area at U+e0a0
+
+Your help is needed to add more languages.
+You can contribute via the link:https://github.com/NanoBillion/gallant[Gallant Project].
+
+But wait, there is more!
+You do not bother with console fonts and use X11 exclusively?
+Get that gallant feeling with the new port package:x11-fonts/gallant[] and run
+
+ xterm -fa '' -fn '*-gallant-*'
+
+To inspect the available glyphs under X11, run
+
+ xfd -fn '*-gallant-*'
