Arial Unicode MS is a BIG 11 MB download, & claims to include every one of the 40000 characters in Unicode 2.1 . Is there some way to convert this font (at a specific size & weight, of course) to font(6) format? I find it difficult to believe that all Plan9 fonts were created using the horrid tweak utility.
