Although the quality of pdf files produced by dvips and ps2pdf (the tex engine in most tex distributions have been set to pdftex even when dvi format is selected) might not be the same as that outputed directly by pdftex, the problems of appearance is not the key. Some files look horrid on, say ac

[9fans] About The Codes Beyond Unicode-BMP

2008-03-13 Thread Hongzheng Wang
Hi, I did an experiment to test if the programs in Plan9 could support the codes beyond Unicode-BMP. The result is not so good. Let's repeat it: Take U+01000 code for example. Create a file and fill it with only one character U+01 encoded in UTF-8. Note that It is could be done with Vim on

It may be difficult. XeTeX needs a fonts management layer to handle Truetype/Opentype fonts, such as fontconfig in Linux. I am not sure if there is such a library in Plan9. On Fri, Mar 14, 2008 at 6:12 AM, Paweł Lasek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > That might be an interesting case for Plan 9 GCC p

[9fans] Where to set environments in p9p

2008-03-26 Thread Hongzheng Wang
Hi all, I have a question about the settings in p9p (plan 9 from user space), such as setting the default font ($font). According to the documents, $PLAN9/rcmain and $home/lib/profile are two places to put configurations stuff, say environments etc, which would be read by rc shell when invoked by

2008-03-27 Thread Hongzheng Wang
Thank you all, sqweek and arvindh :-) I think the most convenient method, for me, is still modifying the 9 script and call p9p programs through 9 when necessary. I said that is due to my consideration: I hope I can stick with bash (I like its readline support) and also play with p9p programs in a

[9fans] Does sam accepts interrupt signal

2008-03-27 Thread Hongzheng Wang
Hi, The UNIX standard editor ed, which also exists in Plan 9, accepts the interrupt signal. When it listens an interrupt signal, ed will print a `?' and returns to its command level. Frankly, it is a very convenient feature since the user could not loose himself, especially for a line editor.
