How about just masking off the top few bits when checking for delimiters? Not
really a clean solution, but certainly simple. It would mean

I see, yes. Well, that's not too terrible.

Unless I'm misunderstanding how this works, ',' (0x2c) gets mangled
to something like 0x10002c.
So, acme knows the location,

I don't understand that. Acme knows the characters' location or it couldn't
draw them. Are you sure it's
Okay that explains a lot. I've had trouble with acme on Mac 10.7 and 10.8

1 bit fonts are legible. this is a feature.

You can turn the pixilation in the advantage by using Terminus font -

When I installed p9ports in my new Macbook Air (around 4 months ago),
fontsrv didn't compile out of the box, I had to compile it separately.
For me all available fonts read perfectly well and sharp (Mac OS X 10.9 on
Air 13 and Mac OS X 10.6.8 on Macbook 13)

I checked. fontsrv didn't compile. I'm sure I can get it to compile but I
don't see the point. Acme comes up, I can change fonts, etc.. What will
fontsrv buy me?
Incidentally, when I look on the net at picture or videos of acme, the
fonts they show on all of those are pixilated too. See:
Check here:
https://vimeo.com/64487176
The slight pixelation comes from the video compression. The font is Monaco,
on my old Macbook
How are you exactly changing fonts, though?

Your font does look better than what I have (but not perfect).
Monaco didn't come with 9p9. Where did you get that?
I am changing font via the Acme Font command on the tag line; i.e.
Font /usr/local/plan9port/font/fixed/unicode.9x15B.font
It is changing the font. The change is obvious.
Those look like mine. Obviously it is highly usable, but the fonts shown
are pixilated and not smooth like fonts that come with the Mac, Linux, etc.
It's a matter of taste, but I prefer the sharpness of the 1 bit fonts. The gray,
fuzzy stuff eventually takes a toll on my eyes.

In my current computer the fonts look as crisp as any native Mac app,
except for slashes where some jagginess can be seen on close inspection.
Usually I'm not close enough to the computer to notice, but large fonts
have this (currently I'm using Cochin 20 and AnonymousPro 16) To get Monaco
or any

The point is that fontsrv allows p9p programs (including acme) to use
whatever true-type font you already have on the system.

cd /usr/local/plan9/src/cmd/fontsrv/
9 mk install
works fine on my system (p9p on OSX 10.8.5)

Perhaps, but I like to think differences of opinion don't necessarily
indicate physical disability.

When I began using acme, sam, 9term, I much cared about ttf fonts. But
I, too, have come to prefer the sharpness of the 1 bit fonts.
A running joke is that prolonged used of Plan 9 damages your eyesight
until you no longer care what anything looks like. Presumably, at this
point,
Okay. I build and installed fontsrv. I have it running. Now when I do:
9p ls font
it lists all the fonts on my system. One of them is Courier. From acme,
I tried:
Font Courier
But that doesn't work. It tells me:
can't open font file Courier: No such file or directory
It seems fontsrv

Sorry again. Re-read first post. I forgot the 12a/font part since it

Interesting. On the bottom it says fontsrv has no support for X11. Is
there a way to use the fonts that come with Linux?
Another question. Is there a way to use a specific font with sam?
Thanks!
