Subject: [Bug: 21.5-b11] Font Selection Fails

Dear Bug Team! This is a bug report I'm submitting as part of a larger description of my font-related problems with XEmacs 21.5-x. These are long-standing problems so the subversion seems irrelevant. This bug report was generated after my failed attempt to set the fonts to Ledfixes using the Options->Font menu. The buffer tab and mode line responded to the requested change by displaying the newly requested font. The edit buffer, however did not display the new font. The following info is from eshell, and represents my preferred locale settings. The locale does not seem to directly impact this particular problem, but it is the reason I am using mule. Mule, as I understand it, is the source of this problem. /home/hattons $ locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE=POSIX LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL= /home/hattons $ ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: Linux ljosalfr 2.4.19-4GB #1 Fri Sep 13 13:14:56 UTC 2002 i686 unknown ./configure '--pdump' '--debug' '--error-checking=all' '--with-pop' '--with-clash-detection' '--with-mule' '--with-tty' '--with-athena=3d' '--with-scrollbars=lucid' '--with-dialogs=athena' '--with-widgets=athena' '--prefix=/home/hattons/local/xemacs' '--site-libraries=/usr/X11/lib/Xaw3d' '--use-kkcc' '--extra-verbose' XEmacs 21.5-b11 "cabbage" configured for `i686-pc-linux'.
