(If font isn't set, I think there might be a builtin default of `fixed`.) As for the actual font, non-9front systems likely have Pelm or Lucida Sans [Mono] for their default font. Lucida is an old bitmap font, not the newer scalable Lucidux Sans. I don't see any sign of Pelm outside Plan 9 circles and I'm sure it's also a bitmap font by design. *However,* a quick web search for `"pelm" font` turned up a Hacker News page with opinions that Lucida Grande is very similar to Lucida, and "Go Mono is closer to (or a remake of) the Pelm font from Plan 9." Both of these are scalable. The article it's commenting on announces the Go fonts, containing sample images: https://blog.golang.org/go-fonts HN subthread with cited/quoted opinions: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12973952 HN thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12973716 Personally, I'd like to see a scalable version of the old GEM font, although I liked it more for its style than its readability when I was a teenager. ;) ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Td0ab6c3112c95493-M0fb2746b097f413e3b279531 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 26+ messages in thread

Even running acme on a FreeBSD host & displaying it on a MBP screen there was no perceptible delay. May be you have a slow disk?
