I've been trying to add support for Sanskrit derived languages, but just rendering the characters has halted progress. For the currently supported languages, such as English, Russian, Greek, French, even Japanese, the characters are more or less statically mapped to the unicode (looking at my $fon

Some might find it an investment to create proper indexes, etc., and bind some of the papers, as well as texts, on Plan 9, into a hard copy and send it to you, for some profitable fee. Hey, it's a more reputable way of making money than donations! Regards --- Begin Message --- I was wondering i

Thank you for taking the time to run such a trial test. What do you think would be the best course of action following fsys main open -A ? Delete all files owned by user and remove user from the FS user table? Then perhaps recreate the user? Or instead, just look around for what might be "amiss"
