Your font does look better than what I have (but not perfe= ct). =A0Monaco=A0didn't come with 9p9. =A0Where did you get that? =A0
I am changing font via the Acme Font command on the tag l= ine; i.e.

=A0 =A0 =A0Font /usr/local/plan9port/font/fixed/unicode= .9x15B.font

It is changing the font. =A0The change is obvious= .

Since most Mac (or Linux) apps have fonts that a= ppear smoothly, fonts without significant compression exist. =A0How can I g= et "uncompressed" / much higher resolution fonts for acme?

Thanks.

Blake

The slight pixelation comes from the video compre= ssion. The font is Monaco, on my old Macbook

How are you exactly changing fonts, though?
