Yeah, but me, I prefer banging my head repeatedly against a brick wall while chewing broken glass to using this troff thing. In this case, the new-fangled stuff is just better, at least for normal people who just want to get stuff done. On 31 August 2016 at 12:51, Skip Tavakkolian

Re: [9fans] Is 9Fans dead or alive

I could put it up as a troff file on a 9P share but then how will people find it and know when it's updated? There's got to be some medium that is palatable to both hard core and new users. Chris > On Aug 30, 2016, at 8:51 PM, Skip Tavakkolian > wrote: > > some

Re: [9fans] Is 9Fans dead or alive

I am about a quarter of the way to a similar setup. My goal is to have a specialty for each of the Pi's (sensors, controller, terminal, router) without preventing them from doing general tasks. I'm hoping to eventually connect up some Pi zeros as leaf nodes for just sensor/control and plumb

Re: [9fans] Is 9Fans dead or alive

I keep a NFS mount to parallel dev Linux Solaris Irix including ARM. It uses m4 as there is no compiler on Sol/Sgi. It was used to create 9p services and RC on all systems much like macros in assembler. There isn't much desire to port as most programs should be rethought. Today's programs are too

I mostly lurk around here, as I'm greener than green when it comes to plan 9. At some point in time, a friend and I were discussing setting up a small-sized computing cluster for small scale distributed computations. I was keen on the idea of using inexpensive hardware (we even joked about using a

Look into hinting and subpixel hinting modes of Freetype2. For different people different combinations of modes (full, medium, slight, none for hinting; 0/1/2 for subpixel hinting) give optimal results. Hinting is usually set via symlinks under /etc/fonts/conf.d/ to what's available under

Sorry to post here; I've not been able to post the issue to plan9port on github. after updating to ubuntu 16.04 (from 14.04), i see garbled fonts in sam/acme/9term, etc. it doesn't seem to matter if native or host fonts are used (via fontsrv). attached is what it looks like in acme. i've been
