I build and installed fontsrv. I have it running. Now when I do: 9p ls font it lists all the fonts on my system. One of them is "Courier". From acme, I tried: Font Courier But that doesn't work. It tells me: can't open font file Courier: No such file or directory It seems fontsrv is working or the 9p ls font wouldn't work. How can I access the font from acme? Thanks.

The point is that fontsrv allows p9p programs (including= acme) to use
whatever true-type font you already have on the system.

Now that is valuable informat= ion!! =C2=A0Thanks!
