  Description     : Pretty sweet 4px wide pixel font

 The 'creep' font is a pretty compact font that is only 4 pixels wide. It is
 great for smaller screens, in order to be able to maintain high text density
 on screens reported as small as 11 inches in diagonal.
 .
 Box drawing
 .
 Creep has most of the basic box drawing characters implemented. Therefore
 creep usually works with most ncurses-type programs or with tmux
 window-splitting for example.
 .
 Powerline
 .
 Creep supports all the symbols needed for Lokaltog's awesome powerline plugin
 for vim.
 .
 Sparklines
 .
 Creep has the necessary symbols for creating sparklines. This is cool for
 tools like rainbarf and others.
 .
 Better Haskell syntax
 .
 This font contains characters that can be used to pretty-print Haskell
 symbols, like '>>='.
 .
 Braille and Drawille
 .
 Creep now supports the full braille alphabet, which was an easy thing to do
 because of the clever braille encoding scheme. All of the braille characters
 are simply generated using a little script.

I intent to maintain this package under the Debian Fonts Team. This
package is introduced because my previous attempt using a fork
(fonts-creep2) seems to not work correctly, so I am packaging the
original.
