-F changes the fixed width font. You want -f.

  Thanks. 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.

    Sorry, 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.

      Success! My aging eyes thank you.

      A final question, Russ: are you the primary author of fontsrv?
      • luriel 14y ago
        Not sure if russ is still reading this thread, but AFAIK, yes, he, or one of the many secret rsc clones is the primary author of fontsrv.
