Hi All,

I have converted the open source font called Hack to plan 9 font format. It's designed to render source code and is working well for me.

https://github.com/sirnewton01/plan9-font-hack/releases

I used the this tool to convert it.

I hope that they are useful.

Thats nice, not sure if I will switch, I will try it for a week or so...

I think the sizes are wrong, the 14 point in the hack directory looks close to 9 point in
the plan9 pelm font.

Thanks for checking it out.

I'll check the tool for sizing problems.

To be fair, 9pt lucm appears as (roughly) grapefruit sized runes on most screens. Compare with 9pt fonts as rendered on an 8.5x11 page by ghostscript.

What size grapefruit are we talking here? Using grapefruit bought from my local supermarket (http://www.paknsave.co.nz/upper-north-island/auckland/royal-oak/) I could fit at most 5 vertically, 7 horizontally into the screen of a 27 inch iMac. I’m fairly sure I could fit more 9pt lucm runes on my screen. But while I’m here, for those of you who are fans of Lucida Grande for code, does it never piss you off that [] looks like a box in that typeface, there being no apparent gap between the left and right brackets?

You're dangerously close to comparing Apples to oranges.  You're already
deep in the citrus family.  Consider carefully your next move.
