i made a double-check, finding that, somehow, when running 21.5, a
face customization for default was saved: "(default ... :family
"courier new" ... )"
i removed the rogue customization and ran again both 21.4 and 21.5
21.5 starts with the ugly tiny font anyhow, no bold no italic,
21.4 starts with vera sans mono, everything seems ok...
ill' try to enable mule on 21.4 too, and report my findings asap
now i have a mule-enabled 21.4 XEmacs, and i have found that the
problems i have experienced with mule-ized 21.5 are also in 21.4
also, i have found on disk an old (b17) s1.5 without mule, and
everything is ok
the funny thing is that, whenever i try
(font-truename (face-font 'default))
as Jeff Mincy suggested, i get
-bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-medium-r-normal-roman-17-120-100-100-m-100-iso8859-1
even if the font used by XEmacs is clearly a variant of courier
puzzled... ciao
