You know, this brings up a good question, which I've been pondering for some time but never asked...
Does anyone remember how the Plan 9 font files came to be? I'm going to go out on a limb here and bet that some poor soul didn't enter them by hand...
I'd also wager that they weren't created on Plan 9 directly...
So, was(were) some tool(s) used, especially in the conversion from a "more standard" format like PS to the Plan 9 format? And if so, does(do) said tool(s) still exist?
Thanks!!
-Ben
