Re: [9fans] Hack font for plan9

What size grapefruit are we talking here? Using grapefruit bought from my local supermarket (http://www.paknsave.co.nz/upper-north-island/auckland/royal-oak/) I could fit at most 5 vertically, 7 horizontally into the screen of a 27 inch iMac. I’m fairly sure I could fit more 9pt lucm runes on

I have the ANSI X3.159-1989 (C89), the ISO/IEC 9989:1990 (C90) (ANSI version) and ISO/IEC 9989:1999 (C99). The first one I found it at the National Technical Reports Library. The other two I do not know where I obtained them but I know they are on the Internet, as final standards, not drafts. On

Re: [9fans] Plan 9 5th Edition

A C compiler that supports the latest spec would be nice as long as it doesn't sacrifice compile times. I like how quickly the system can recompile itself. Maybe extend pcc to include new features? Go works pretty well and is on its way to be a supported platform. I use it quite frequently on

Thanks for checking it out. I'll check the tool for sizing problems. Chris On Nov 16, 2016, at 9:27 AM, Steve Simon wrote: >> I have converted the open source font called Hack to plan 9 font format. > > Thats nice, not sure if I will switch, I will try it for a week or

I'm not sure there's a single "canonical" answer, but many installations have run the auth server off its own file system, as James originally described. It's been several years now so my memory could be fuzzy, but I believe this is what they did at the main Bell Labs installation. > On Nov
