Not much more than init: starting /bin/rc Segmentation fault from a freshly compiled 9vx or the 9vx.Linux contained in the HG repository on bitbucket.org. I was hoping to try 9vx.tgz from swtch.com which is not 9vx*.bz2, but that does not behave any differently. The platform

Hi, I just did a fresh pull for my sysfromiso tree from bitbucket, mk nuke etc. and it built fine. It's a lot of fun to look at, e.g., http://bitbucket.org/rminnich/sysfromiso/changeset/147b5c83d6f4 and see all the good stuff still being done on this kernel :-) ron

Re: [9fans] troff fonts with special characters

2010-09-11 Thread Rudolf Sykora
Hello, this starts to be daunting... When I use troff with the R font, troff uses metrics from /sys/lib/troff/font/R. Then something, when dpost -f is running, must take the real glyphs and put them into the final ps. I guess that something must read /sys/lib/postscript/troff/R to find out that
