Topicbox-Message-UUID: 794939bc-ead5-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025 My try (times/latin1.7a.font) could be improved. It does actually display accented characters (from pelm/latin1.8) interspersed with unaccented letters in the Times font. But it's a bit like a ransom note, or the Cyrillic font I designed and poked into my C64 in middle school: the baseline of the accented characters is a pixel or two higher than the baseline of times letters. Is this about as good as I can expect, or could anyone suggest a better composition? 17 12 0x0000 0x0001 ../lucsans/lsr.12 0x0001 0x009F 1 R.7.1 0x00A0 0x00FF 0xA0 ../pelm/latin1.8 0x0100 0x017E ../pelm/latineur.8 0x0250 0x02E9 ../misc/ipa.8 0x0370 0x03F5 ../misc/greek.8 0x0400 0x0475 ../misc/cyrillic.9 0x2000 0x2044 ../misc/genpunc.8 0x2070 0x208E ../pelm/supsub.8 0x20A0 0x20AC ../pelm/currency.9 0x2190 0x21EA ../misc/arrows 0x2200 0x227F ../misc/math1 0x2280 0x22F1 ../misc/math2 0x2300 0x232C ../misc/tech 0x2500 0x257F ../misc/chart 0x2600 0x266F ../misc/ding 0x2700 0x27BF ../misc/zapf 0xfee0 0xff5e ../pelm/latin1.8 0xFFFD 0xFFFD 0x80 ../pelm/latin1.8 I'd like to keep using Times since I think the letter-forms look better than the default Lucida (there's no "bit" directory, so which file actually defines the default euro.8.font plan9port-acme uses?), but are not so small as palatino/latin1.6.font (7 & 8 get clipped).
