I'm at the receiving end of what is not as slow an Internet connection as I have suffered from in the past, but it's expensive. And the hardware I have access to is also not very fast. Storage is a minor issue here, although it can't be totally ignored. Installing Plan 9, Inferno (yes, that one too contributes a set of fonts) and p9p just takes too long and after a few times one gets impatient. The string height, is that a font or a rendering problem? I mean, do the Plan 9 fonts suffer from it, or is it the graphics system that can't deal with ascenders adequately? Looking at your example, I'd say the former. ++L PS: Your answer, then, is" "don't bother", I presume. Are there more opinions? Different ones?
