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

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.

run the fontsrv command and run '9p ls font' to see what's available
on your mac.
