From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Date: Mon, 6 Dec 2004 16:44:03 -0500 From: Sam To: Fans of the OS Plan 9 from Bell Labs <9fans@cse.psu.edu> In-Reply-To: Message-ID: References: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed Subject: [9fans] Drawterm vanishing font fix Topicbox-Message-UUID: 11e97a40-eace-11e9-9e20-41e7f4b1d025 It's atrocious. It's a hack. It should be removed at the earliest appearance of a true fix. ... but it works. Andrey has committed a patch to drawterm that basically performs David Tolpin's workaround from long ago as a flag (-b) so those of us with (as it seems) poorly written video drivers can enjoy fonts with drawterm. The b stands for 'broken stipple,' which as i understand it is the problem. Now, should I update the drawterm manpage to document it or is it so offensive as to be hidden from sight? Cheers, Sam
