Are you saying that this fixes the display issue too?
Do you have a fix for this such that XEmacs builds correctly when
configure is run with no flags? (TTY support via termcap and terminfo
is supposed to be autodetected!)

Hello,
My xemacs which had worked for a long time with no problem stopped working a few days ago - I could not save or save as any tex files I opened.
The error was
Window hight 0 too small (after splitting).
I uninstalled xemacs, updated all ports, installed it again and now it crashes and does not even open the tex file.
I tried to obtain the core but it was not found (I do not have xdb or sdb)

Your version of XEmacs was distributed with a PROBLEMS file that may describe
your crash, and with luck a workaround. Please check it first, but do report
the crash anyway. Please report this bug by invoking M-x report-emacs-bug,

I have said again, and again, and again, bidi works perfectly on TTYs
*already*. TTY emulators that support bidi are few in number, but PuTTY is
one of them, and it is one of the most widely distributed out there. Bidi
works perfectly with mlterm, too. It already works better with GTK and Pango
than it does in Apple Terminal.

tracker says 3 hits are 7

I noticed some odd behavior with text overwriting the modeline. I've
started to put together a bug report, but I thought I'd first check to
see if the issue has already been reported.
Went to the tracker, clicked on Search, entered "modeline" in the "All
text" field. Clicked on Search. The tracker brought up a page with 3
issues (785, 778, 798). But at the top and bottom it says "1..7 out of
7". Is the tracker confused, or it it hiding the other 4 bugs?
I get the same behavior whether or not I'm logged into the tracker.

JIT here stands for “just-in-time,” as it does elsewhere. The problem was
that the Mule encoding doesn’t have (unused) space for all the Unicode code
points as well as all the Mule code points, so a static mapping from Mule
code points to Unicode code points didn’t work.
A dynamic mapping, with Mule code points allocated at runtime, does work,
and with a bit of re-jigging of the code space, we have 200,000 possible
Unicode points in a given XEmacs session, plenty for normal use. The problem
this provoked initially was consistency from auto-save files from one
invocation to the next, and we addressed that by using the ISO-IR 196 UTf-8
compatible escapes in our ISO-2022-oriented escape-quoted autosave encoding.
The dynamic allocation idea was Mike Fabian’s, and using the ISO-IR 196
escapes for those characters was mine. The net result was we don’t have
quite the pressure towards switching to a Unicode internal encoding that we
had in the first years of this millenium.

Three things occur to me:
2. The language-to-charset mapping in fontcolor-xlike-inc.c is far from
complete. Now, having it complete wouldn’t be a panacea, especially with the
JIT unicode charsets, but it would improve things a little. Easy enough to
change.
2. There’s nothing like the below in the startup files. This would be also
easy enough to change.
3. There’s no support whatsoever for contextual shaping, bidirectional text,
combining characters and all the other good stuff that makes multilingual
text display an interesting problem. This is basically impossible without a
couple of man years in the context of XEmacs’ XFT support; it’s entirely
achievable with GTK and Pango, and Jeff Sparkes has done important work in
that direction. His repository is here:
https://bitbucket.org/jsparkes/xemacs-gtk .
Code from 2:
(when (featurep 'xft-fonts)
(with-fboundp '(fc-name-unparse fc-font-match fc-name-parse)
(set-specifier
(face-font 'default)
(cons '(x)
(fc-name-unparse
(fc-font-match (selected-device)
(fc-name-parse "Monospace-11.5:lang=en")))))
