Re: yet another XEmacs fork;-)

Olivier Galibert <galibert(a)pobox.com&gt; さんは書きました: it does! As you say, the name is different but the glyph rendering is identical: mfabian＠magellan:~$ fc-list "Misc Fixed:pixelsize=10:style=Regular" family style file /usr/share/fonts/misc/6x10.pcf.gz: Misc Fixed:style=Regular /usr/share/fonts/japanese/5x10a.pcf.gz: Misc Fixed:style=Regular /usr/share/fonts/misc/6x10-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz: Misc Fixed:style=Regular mfabian＠magellan:~$ (Using bitmap fonts via fontconfig/Xft is a bit slower though than via the X11 core font system). On openSUSE it is called "Misc Fixed", on other distributions just "Fixed". That is because on openSUSE freetype2 contains a patch to prepend the foundry ("Misc") and a space to the family ("Fixed") for bitmap fonts (*only* for bitmap fonts!). Otherwise you get problems distinguishing the many completely different and unrelated fonts with family name "Fixed" but a different foundry because the font selection GUIs don’t let you specify the foundry. And the bitmap fonts -adobe-helvetica-* would be used by browsers for many pages which ask for "Helvetica". Prepending "Adobe " to make this "Adobe Helvetica" avoids using these bitmap fonts by default for many web pages without disabling them completely and still having them available for users who like them. In a config file, like for XEmacs, you could add the foundry, i.e. specify something like: "Misc Fixed:foundry=Misc:pixelsize=10:style=Regular" but in don’t know any GUI yet which lets you specify a foundry. -- Mike FABIAN <mfabian(a)suse.de&gt; http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。 I � Unicode _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
