Anyone know of a good widely-supported sans-serif monospace font for the monospaced table? It looks good in FF, but in chrome it defaults to something ugly, probably Courier.

In Linux, setting -D as "wizard" does not put you in debug

First off, sorry for the long section name. I couldn't think of anything else. Anyway, creating profile "wizard" and running nethack -D says "[greeting] wizard, welcome to nethack! You are a [alignment] [gender] [race] [role]. --More--" "Only user "root" may access debug (wizard) mode. --More--" "Entering discovery mode instead." This happens to me in Linux Mint 18.2.1, running nethack-x11. Is this a code problem, or just incorrect info? Pyro9224 (talk) 13:51, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

On Linux, I think you have to edit the WIZARDS option in sysconf. On my install, it defaults to "WIZARDS=root games", and since I don't run a multi-user system I change it to "WIZARDS=*" to allow any user to run as wizard with -D. This automatically changes my player name to "wizard" even though the process is running under my normal username. --Phol ende wodan (talk) 23:31, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
