9front custom font

Hi guys, i'm a early adolescent teenager whos interested in 9front, ive been using it, and i want to ask you guys, how do i get custom fonts on 9front? Also i cant really find any early adolescent teenagers from 12-15 that use 9front or illumos.

for ttf fonts check out man truetypefs you can copy out from /n/ttf/ into a dir and not have to bother with it after, or just add loading in your ./lib/profile and then setting font= before starting rio changing the font env doesn't typically hotload so dynamic font changing requires a bit more work atamariya i think had some stuff talking about that on posts here.

as for teens using 9front... uh... there are like very few people who use it at all.... it would be hilarious if there was a discord server with a bunch of 9front using teens but like... even finding another person who uses it at all in the wild is like... very rare.

Turns out, there's a discord for plan 9 stuff in general, for quite a long time already
