For anyone who cares the "plan 9" text on the cover of the manuals is
Industria LT Std Solid . Industria was designed by Neville Brody for
a 80's pop culture magazine called "The Face" while he was Art
Director there.

I care and I am confused. Which edition of the manuals are you referring to?

looking at the images, i'm fairly sure it's the Fourth Edition ones Vita Nuova printed

Wikipedia notes (so it must be true) that
"Brody's team launched a new look for the champagne brand Dom Pérignon in February 2007, having been appointed in 2004 to help the brand with its strategy and repositioning".

Oh come on. All they had to do was make better, less pretentious Champagne.

Oh, I should have been more specific. I meant the third and fourth
edition. I see that the second edition is different, and the only
copy of the first edition I could find in our shop says simply:
" BE L
Programmer's Man"

The covers of the manuals on the vol1.pdf in /sys/man and in the
vol2.pdf in my contrib dir (/n/sources/contrib/pietro) is the same ol'
Lucida Sans. It's a nice font family. My question is why it lacks fs,
ffs, etc. You'll see Peter's face in the back of the troff manual
where they should be.

Is that - Industrial LT Std Solid - the same font used in the logo
with Glenda on a black background?
