yes. The tag fonts are $PLAN9/font/luc/unicode.7.font and the window fonts are $PLAN9/font/fixed/unicode.6x13.font, from plan9port. They look neat, if you ask me. 2009/2/27, ron minnich rminn...@gmail.com: On Thu, Feb 26, 2009 at 8:58 AM, hugo rivera uai...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all,

do you do that by executing Font in each window? IIRC, acme tries to move the tag bar a line at a time, but does so using the sizes of your tag bar font (-f). you'll see this behavior occurs because the different heights on the fonts mean you can't satisfy both of them with whole-row-only moves.

'page'. font files are just bitmaps. some alpha-blended, but still bitmaps. cd /lib/font and look around. On Fri, Feb 27, 2009 at 7:06 PM, John Barham jbar...@gmail.com wrote: Is there a program that will render some subset of a font file so that you get a quick feel for what it looks like?
