Hello, fellow 9fans. I'm a Plan 9 newcomer and I've been playing with
getting a simple standalone Plan 9 system going in QEMU and I'm having
problems getting the networking to work. I tried running "ip/ipconfig"
and "ndb/dns -r" which should be sufficient to get the networking
going using the built
Modern TeX implementations like XeTeX and LuaTeX handle UTF-8 natively
and also bring all sorts of benefits like OpenType support (automagic
ligatures, real small caps, selectable lining or old-style figures and
more) and the ability to define fonts from the system font pool rather
than using archa

Plain TeX (which is what KerTeX offers by default) doesn't seem that
complex, but it does have the disadvantage of not offering much of a
separation between format and content. Both LaTeX and some of the more
sophisticated troff macro packages do a better job of allowing
"structured" editing.

Nice! I've been wondering about textmode games on Plan 9. This should
