[9fans] troff and fonts

2022-09-16 Thread Maurizio Boriani


Hi,
  I've ttf font, for example[1], and I would like have 'em working with p9p
troff.

  I see some stuff in p9p/troff/font/devutf/ (the ones which I use with
.ft request).

  Is there a way to "convert" [1] into p9p/troff/font/devutf/

Thank you,

best regards

Me the same... I've to use windows too and I *need* acme, it keep me
sane :-) So I've a great user experience with plumber too and access
btw WSL2 linux (debian) and windwos filesystem.

Also from linux and acme too (obviously) you could give commands to
windows, for example use plumber to open the windows browser...

Good integration. With devdraw i can connect natively to my 9front
network, remotly too via tinc vpn. Great!

Just my two cents.

It's amazing ;-)

I'm playing with porting refer[1] (I need it) to Go, Forsyth version.

I'll have a look on 'em, in order to have inspiration :-) 

Thank you.

Hi,
  is there somewhere in plan9 code base (9front, plan9port etc...) the
source code of refer and/or bib? I found many references to 'em but
didn't found the code or programs.


Thanks,
