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.BlakeOn Wed, Dec 11, 2013 at 1:53 PM, Rubén Berenguel <ruben@mostlymaths.net> wrote:
Check here:The slight pixelation comes from the video compression. The font is Monaco, on my old MacbookHow are you exactly changing fonts, though?On Wed, Dec 11, 2013 at 8:50 PM, Blake McBride <blake@mcbride.name> wrote:
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.

When I installed p9ports in my new Macbook Air (around 4 months ago), fontsrv didn't compile "out of the box," I had to compile it separately. For me all available fonts read perfectly well and sharp (Mac OS X 10.9 on Air 13" and Mac OS X 10.6.8 on Macbook 13")Regards,RubenOn Wed, Dec 11, 2013 at 8:26 PM, <sl@9front.org> wrote:
