i didn't know most people set $font to a fixed-width font. i've been using a
variable-width $font for a long time:
; echo $font
/home/quanstro/plan9/font/code2000/code2000.14.font
(code2000 provides much better unicode coverage than pelm. and is
readable in smaller sizes.)
i haven't had any difficulties doing this. most programs that absolutely
need a fixed-width font do not play nicely with 9term because they also
use cursor addressing. the major exception being "cal".
i suppose the way to correct this $font abuse would be to use "font", "fixedfont",
and "varfont" environment variables.
doesn't quite feel right, though.

| Acme's default font is variable-width, but $font is fixed-width.
| You may prefer a fixed-width default font, but others do not.

| Also, the /lib/font/bit paths are fine - libdraw will cope.
