Okay.  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 information!!  Thanks!
