75dpi, 100dpi, misc -- which one?



[Please CC me.]

In the `intlfonts' package I maintain, there is a lot of fonts, without
being classified by their dpi.  So I'd like to know how can I find out
the resolution of an X11 font?

I guess the resolution is defined by the SIZE parameter in the BDF file.
Is it right?  If so, then I have another question.  There is a lot of
various numbers there, including 72, 75, 80, 100, and 150.  Where should
the fonts with the resolution different of 75 and 100 go to?  (`misc' is
defined as the place for "character-cell fonts, cursor fonts, and other
low-resolution fonts" by Debian Policy, so it doesn't look to me like
the right place generally.)

Thanks,

Milan Zamazal
