if $font were used by acme, would $font be the fixed font or the proportional font?
what would we call the other font?

it didn't print anything else, did it?  the pc indicates that these
lines should have been executed

here's a wild stab in the dark which has bitten us for an embedded
kernel we run.  make sure to turn off legacy emulation for usb devices
in the bios.  (phoenix bios has this option in the second tab under one
of the bottom selections.)  legacy emulation can turn on system management
mode.  system management mode takes over system resources (like memory)
to run the emulation code and then puts things back.  the os is not
supposed to notice, but sometimes the emulation is not seemless.
(or perhaps we don't know all the magic spots in memory.)  either way,
it's worth a shot.

I'd really like to use this font in plan9. Is there a guide out there  
of what is required?

Get the freetype port from http://mirtchovski.com/p9/freetype/
Convert the font to ttf and then use ttf2subf.

there is a copy of these converted fonts on sources
	/n/sources/contrib/quanstro/subpixel/icons.tar
and
	/n/sources/contrib/quanstro/subpixel/lib/font/bit/icons/

you will need my patch to libframe for highlighting to work
correctly.

Hey that works great.  I didn't have to apply a patch though.  Perhaps
that was done for me by my friendly neighborhood sysadmin?  :)
