Re: [9fans] Setting acme to a GoMono or DejavuSansMono font

2023-01-15 Thread Lucio De Re
It's the "-F" that the invoked "acme" complains about, then the font
filename. That just doesn't compute.

mnt/font is interpreted by the font management library as a Unix
socket to the font server.

 9 man fontsrv

will help some, it shows how to check which fonts are available.

I've checked and there is no shell alias or function. What path do you use for 
the fonts?

You probably have a shell alias or a shell function called acme. The
p9p acme does accept the -f and -F options, I use them all the time.

Re: [9fans] Setting acme to a GoMono or DejavuSansMono font

2023-01-14 Thread Raoul Comninos
Those examples seem to pertain to running acme via rc, which I am not
doing.

However, I tried:
% acme −F /mnt/font/GoMono/11a/font
and I get,
can't open −F: No such file or directory
can't open /mnt/font/GoMono/11a/font: No such file or directory

[9fans] Setting acme to a GoMono or DejavuSansMono font

2023-01-14 Thread revrari
I have successfully installed plan9port on Ubuntu Linux. I managed to change 
the font for sam when I run it. I have set this in my .bash_aliases file:

alias sam="export font=/mnt/font/GoMono/11a/font && sam"

However, the same code does not work for acme. If I add this alias:

alias acme="export font=/mnt/font/GoMono/11a/font && acme"

then acme starts, but the font is _not_ GoMono. 

I have tried this with other fonts too.

I would appreciate any help with this.

BTW I am running sam/acme directly from the bash shell.
