Re: [9fans] nice appearance to Times font with accented characters (in acme)?

The default fonts are

roro=; cd $PLAN9/src/cmd/acme
roro=; g /lib/font
acme.c:41: 	"/lib/font/bit/lucsans/euro.8.font",
acme.c:42: 	"/lib/font/bit/lucm/unicode.9.font"
roro=;

As a compatibility hack, the plan9port graphics code
knows to translate a path beginning with /lib/font/bit
into one that begins $PLAN9/font.

If you are using OS X, you can take advantage of the
font server, which synthesizes Plan 9 font bitmaps using the
native fonts.  See http://swtch.com/~rsc/acme-font.html

If you are using X11, you could do the same but first
you'd have to implement the X11 support in
$PLAN9/src/cmd/fontsrv.
