You can call me Thierry Hercules Laronde! since I have cleaned the
Augean Stables. Twice (GRASS and TeX distrib).
Now for the Stymphalian birds!! :-).
May I suggest support for using METAFONT to create
plan9 fonts?
Best,

i've found it's nice for fmt to know about leading formatting
such as a for email or a * for c comments. this
is especially helpful when dealing with email from folks whose
mailers don't wrap, or badly formatted comments.

METAFONT
METAFONT is indeed a program that deserves more attention, at least for
mathematicians: if Hilbert had had it, he will have found somebody in
Göttingen to create a font and not use the suboptimal gothic one.
(IMHO, both fonts and the mathematical symbols have not reached a
perfection; and

i would think that if you can display with mf at all, you could easily

Hi,
I would like to try to get something running which
would allow me to draw pic documents in a WYSIWYG style

There is a tarball in my contrib, xcip.tar; it is a copy of 1995-era
xcip, made to build on recent linux systems. It needs Plan9port to
build (9's lex and yacc, iirc).

If you will never have to edit them, whiteboard + digital camera.
