[Bug: 21.5-b24] With Xft enabled, tabs are misrendered 18 years, 10 months

Bryan O'Sullivan

I'm trying to use 21.5-b24 on an x86_64 Linux box running FC4. I compiled with Xft enabled, but tabs are quite screwy, so code that contains tabs looks terrible. As per usual on a Unix box, I expect them to be 8 spaces wide with a monospace font. Here is an illustration of where my tab stops show up. The first line below shows counters. The second shows where each tab is. The last uses spaces to illustrate where the tabs are actually displayed. The correspondence is not accurate, as XEmacs is losing less than one space-size per tab stop. 1234567812345678123456781234567812345678123456781234567812 c c c c c c c c | | | | | | | | Another manifestation of this problem is that when I resize my window, it is reported as containing quite a few more columns than it actually has. In other words, when X thinks I have 80 columns, I have more like 70. If it makes any difference, I do not see this problem on an i386-based laptop. The desktop system has a 1920x1200 display; the laptop has 1024x768. Regards, <b

Multiple issues with InnoSetup XEmacs 18 years, 10 months

Per Mildner SICS Usenet

The new InnoSetup installer for XEmacs-21.4.18 has a number of problems. 1. Installs in C:\XEmacs This is just plain wrong. The Windows way is to install into something like (the properly localized version of) C:\Program Files\XEmacs 2. The way to update packages is just too clunky for Windows. In addition, it does not work. When I do update-and-install and select xemacs-base for update I get "Autoload error" the next time I start XEmacs. M-x list-load-path-shadows shows a lot of shadowing betwen things like "...\Packages\lisp\xemacs-base\" and "...\Packages\xemacs-packages\lisp\xemacs-base\". 3. The old installer based on Cygwin netinstall was much nicer when it came to package handling, when it updated the packages it "just worked" and it also automatically selected all outdated packages for update. Unfortunately the XEmacs binaries for the netinstall has not been updated for a long time and last I tried, it failed to download a few packages (gnus 1.87 and xemacs-base 2.00). In summary, the InnoSetup installer is worse than the netinstall installer it replaced. Apart from being worse, the installed XEmacs is broken when it comes to package updating. (To end on a brighter note: XEmacs installation on Windows still has a long way to go until it sucks as much as that for FSF emacs, last I looked the GNU Emacs win32 binaries were distributed as tar files, which is hilarious.) Regards,
