Hello 9fans,
I am using 9front, a fork of plan9 in my ThinkPad. I know that plan9
supports unicode but I still find some of Chinese characters display
funny. Is it a font issue or something?
Best wishes,
Cheng

exactly.
It is rare to find a unicode font that has _very_ wide coverage,
though some plan9 fonts are better than others in this respect.
This is not somthing I have used much so hopefully someone will
chime in with font suggestions.

i would recommend cyberbit which is included with 9atom. i'd be interested
in hearing your impressions of the characters as i don't speak chinese.
; echo $font
/lib/font/bit/cyberbit/mod14.font
you can copy it with the following commands
srv -n -q tcp!atom.9atom.org atom &&
mount $nflag /srv/atom /n/atom atom
cd /lib/font/bit && mkdir cyberbit &&
disk/mkfs -z 16000 -vkU -s /n/atta`{pwd} -d . <{echo +}
