Apology. I started using a shell script I created to perform text wrap in acme by executing the script with |wrap Turns out it is my script (nroff version of groff) that is doing it. That should be easy to fix. Thanks, and sorry about the confusion. On Sat, Dec 14, 2013 at 12:15 PM, Bence Fábi

imho, the brilliant thing about fontsrv is that you don't have to know which fonts you are "interested in", at which sizes etc. You can't get that kind of flexibility if you statically convert. It's not just about having smooth fonts in Plan 9; it's about being able to deal with true type fonts in

It's your keyboard layout. acme does no such thing to my knowledge. Also it has nothing to do with the font. I assume you use p9p acme on Mac OS X based on your last letter. So I can't help you more. 2013/12/14 Blake McBride > Greetings, > > While working with acme I had a problem with spell ch

Greetings, While working with acme I had a problem with spell checking. Investigating, I discovered that my setup of acme is not using normal single quotes or hyphens. Instead of inserting what all other editors insert when I hit my single quote or dash keys, acme is inserting some other (2 byte

i really don't understand what the argument is about. if all one needs is smoothed fonts on plan9 then short of exposing a fontsrv's file descriptor somewhere on the public net, we can get "fontsrv for plan9" in one easy step: $ for i in `9p ls font/Zapfino/12a`; do 9p read font/Zapfino/12a/$i >

Neither canonical, nor idiomatic solution but quick and dirty would be just "sudo acme" in acme Win. That way I usually get acme with full permission in second window. Surely, what Aram say is the correct way to do things. Ilya.

Well it's not that simple, the X11 version uses freetype2 and fontconfig to read/render TrueType fonts.. The OS X is probably doing something similar with Apple's APIs On Fri, Dec 13, 2013 at 7:26 PM, Friedrich Psiorz wrote: > I would really like to have fontsrv in native Plan 9. It's nice to b
