+=== x3270-fonts ====
+For IBM x3270 compatibility, a special set of fonts is necessary. Official builds use the version shipped in the ''x3270-fonts'' subdirectory of x2goclient-contrib.
+Note that versions prior to 3.6 are classified non-free by major distributions due to their custom, restrictive license. Do **not** use and (re-)distribute older versions than 3.6 with X2Go Client.
+==== Updating x3270 Fonts Package ====
+  * Check the current licensing situation. Do **not** update the package if it becomes non-free again.
+  * Build the x3270 package, download a complete precompiled one or just fetch a binary fonts package. Debian conveniently offers one named [[https://packages.debian.org/sid/xfonts-x3270-misc|xfonts-x3270-misc]].
+  * Create a new versioned subdirectory in the ''x3270-fonts'' directory.
+  * Extract the binary fonts.
+  * Make sure that all binary font files are located in one single directory called ''misc''.
+  * Get copyright and licensing information and place them into a file called ''copyright-x3270-fonts''. Debian's copyright file is very well suited for this, but please remove content that is not relevant to the fonts themselves.
+  * Use Debian's ''strip-nondeterminism'' script:
+<code>
+$ find misc -iname '*.gz' -exec strip-nondeterminism '{}' ';'
+</code>
+  * For official builds, create timestamps script:
+<code>
+$ cd ..
+$ ../generate-timestamps-on-folder.sh <new-versions-directory>
+</code>
+  * For official builds, call the timestamps script in x2goclient-contrib's top-directory script called ''current-timestamp-scripts.sh''.
+  * For official builds, update the [[https://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goclient.git;a=blob;f=copy-deps-win32.bat;hb=HEAD|copy-deps-win32.bat in x2goclient.git]] copying step to use the new directory.
