What do you have as $font in your lib/profile?
I ask because it seems that the ones I've tried are either far too big
(I'm only working on 1024x768) or are missing a lot of the characters
I want, like λ.  Right now, /lib/font/bit/lucida/unicode.6.font seems
to be working pretty well, but I would like to get a monospace font if
possible.

i know it's unpopular, but i use the x11 fixed font. it has most of
the alphabets a use, is monospace, and looks good at 1024x768. though
some would contest that it ever looks good ;)

I'm happy using those of charon for inferno and
versa for plan9.

just a quick question...

Has anyone managed to run Plan 9 on a pSeries system?

Not that I know of, although a port to the PAPR virtualization layer
would not be difficult.  The closest is probably the libOS work I did
(which was a modified Inferno kernel) that ran on PAPR, but I didn't
end up implementing the disk or network virtualized I/O as I just used
9P over shared memory.

The PS3/Cell port would have many of the same requirements (from the
base CPU/MMU architecture anyways) as a Power4 port (and vice-versa).
