Your font does look better than what I have (but not perfect). Monaco didn't come with 9p9. Where did you get that? I am changing font via the Acme Font command on the tag line; i.e. Font /usr/local/plan9port/font/fixed/unicode.9x15B.font It is changing the font. The change is obvious. Since most Mac (or Linux) apps have fonts that appear smoothly, fonts without significant compression exist. How can I get "uncompressed" / much higher resolution fonts for acme? Thanks.
