I have successfully installed plan9port on Ubuntu Linux. I managed to change the font for sam when I run it. I have set this in my .bash_aliases file:
alias sam="export font=/mnt/font/GoMono/11a/font && sam"
However, the same code does not work for acme. If I add this alias:
alias acme="export font=/mnt/font/GoMono/11a/font && acme"
then acme starts, but the font is _not_ GoMono.
I have tried this with other fonts too.
I would appreciate any help with this.
BTW I am running sam/acme directly from the bash shell.

Those examples seem to pertain to running acme via rc, which I am not
doing.
However, I tried:
% acme −F /mnt/font/GoMono/11a/font
and I get,
can't open −F: No such file or directory
can't open /mnt/font/GoMono/11a/font: No such file or directory

You probably have a shell alias or a shell function called acme. The
p9p acme does accept the -f and -F options, I use them all the time.

I've checked and there is no shell alias or function. What path do you use for the fonts?

It's the "-F" that the invoked "acme" complains about, then the font
filename. That just doesn't compute.
mnt/font is interpreted by the font management library as a Unix
socket to the font server.
9 man fontsrv
will help some, it shows how to check which fonts are available.

Are you perhaps using an unusual hyphen (m-dash, perhaps)?

That did the trick! Thanks so much.
acme -f /mnt/font/GoMono/11a/font
