I am running a 17" MacBook Pro with OS/X 10.6.8.
I am running plan9port on my Mac, not Plan-9 or Inferno so there is no
fontsrv. I can, however, run:
find /usr/local/plan9port/font -name '*.font'
to see what is available. Currently, there are 242 available. The top
level looks like this:
big5
fixed
gb
jis
luc
lucm
lucsans
misc
naga10
palatino
pelm
sample
shinonome
smiley
special
times
I can easily get to and use any of them. The problem is that they are low
res (definitely usable but still a bit pixilated).
Thanks.
Blake
