I won't argue any of your points but one. You can use whatever system fonts you like on OS X. Here's some Comic Sans for you: http://swtch.com/~rsc/hackernews.p

- hollerith 14y agoA hint on how to achieve that would be greatly appreciated. I tried starting Acme as follows, but no joy: 9 acme -F '/Library/Fonts/Comic Sans MS.ttf' ADDED. After googling site:swtch.com, I tried the following two invocations, but still no joy: 9 acme −F /mnt/font/Monaco/13a/font 9 acme −F /usr/local/plan9/mnt/font/Monaco/13a/font -- which is not so surprising as neither /mnt nor /usr/local/plan9/mnt exist. ADDED. Actually, cannot get the -F flag to Acme to do anything. E.g., $PLAN9/font/luc/latin1CW.18.font exists, but Acme started with "acme -F $PLAN9/font/luc/latin1CW.18.font" uses the same font as Acme started with "acme".
- yiyus 14y ago-F changes the fixed width font. You want -f.
- hollerith 14y agoThanks. Am now able to choose among the fonts supplied by the plan9port tarball. Still would like to be able to choose a OS X system font, though.
- rsc 14y agoSorry, my original reply with the screenshot included a command line, but it got lost in the internet tubes, and when I reposted the reply I forgot the command line. acme -f /mnt/font/ComicSansMS/16a/font is how I made the screenshot. Run fontsrv -p . to get a list of the fonts you can use.
