I checked.  fontsrv didn't compile.  I'm sure I can get it to compile but I
don't see the point.  Acme comes up, I can change fonts, etc..  What will
fontsrv buy me?

Incidentally, when I look on the net at picture or videos of acme, the
fonts they show on all of those are pixilated too.  See:

Those look like mine.  Obviously it is highly usable, but the fonts shown
are pixilated and not smooth like fonts that come with the Mac, Linux, etc.

Thanks.
