Re: [9fans] Change font in Abaco
Hi sl! Thanks for your answer regarding fonts in Abaco. I tried with the fonts already installed and that works with some. Then I installed contrib and via contrib vera but Abaco can't find them. I've looked around and saw a mention of fontsrv. Is that application needed to update a fontcache (you can tell I'm a linux user) or something to get all the fonts available? Vera fonts work from scratch in Rio and Acme but not in Abaco. Any hint would be very appreciated. Kind Regards, Mats 2014-11-09 3:18 GMT+01:00, erik quanstrom quans...@quanstro.net: the face files, version of abaco supporting them, and the version of readweb that has been modified to support this are in 9atom. - erik
[9fans] Change font in Abaco
Hi guys! I've tried multiple ways to change the font in Abaco but failed. It seems to be compiled in. Is there a way to change the font in Abaco. Would really appreciate some help. Greetings, Mats

Maybe your emails will prompt someone to take action and integrate $font/$font2 environment variables into a bunch of Plan 9 programs. Good luck, Lee

Re: [9fans] Change font in Abaco
I've tried multiple ways to change the font in Abaco but failed. Check out the example file /sys/src/cmd/abaco/abaco.fonts. Copy this to $home/lib and edit it to suit. sl

Is there a way to change the font in Abaco. Would really appreciate some help. i have taken a little different direction on fonts in abaco. i think what one wishes to specify is the typeface. so we need to specify twenty fonts in the product of five point sizes and four weight/styles (roman, italic, bold, and typewriter). i put these in an external file in /lib/font/bit/htmlfont (sic). there are twenty entries, for example for the tiny roman entry for lucida, tr /lib/font/bit/lucidasans/unicode.6.font to switch fonts just set htmlfont=/lib/font/bit/htmlfont/vera before running readweb. easy peasy. the face files, version of abaco supporting them, and the version of readweb that has been modified to support this - erik
