[9fans] plan9port acme imageinit: can't open font

Greetings,

I am running Plan9port on Fedora 35.

When I run acme as root, it runs fine.  However, when I try to run it as a
regular user, I get:

$ acme
imageinit: can't open font /mnt/font/Courier/12a/font: 0���
acme: can't open display: 0���
$

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Blake McBride

You nay have to delete the namespace in /tmp that may have been
created under root's permissions.

I'm guessing, but it seems the most likely culprit. That, or fontsrv,
which may also have left something that only root can access. Of
course, /mnt/font is a dreadful red herring.

Thanks for the pointers.  I tried them and it didn't help.

I suppose I'll move on without acme.  If anyone is ever interested in
taking a look at this, you can see from my original post what I am running.

Thanks.

Blake

Hi,
 acme, or libdraw is not finding your font.  What you can do is 
$ 9p ls font

That shows  a listing of all available fonts pick one and use the -f / -F
flags with a font that is listed and see what happens.

This is the line that starts acme  in my riostart 
acme -a -f /mnt/font/'Go Regular'/11a/font -F /mnt/font/'Go Mono'/11a/font&

good luck

don
