Re: XFT fonts

I'm not suggesting a code change. I'm suggesting that a configuration of 21.5 is made stable in order to replace 21.4[1]. So what I'm suggesting is that if 21.5 without Xft is as good as 21.4 then we could make 21.5 without Xft the new stable release. We just write in the docs that Xft is optional and non-default and should not be used for a stable version replacement of 21.4. Good locking fonts are of course important but it is now blocking progress in other areas that IMHO also are important -- The ability to upgrade packages and run modern elisp. If we are more compatible with GNU the interest in fixing Xft, Pango, GTK+ might get higher too. Yours Footnotes: [1] Like the ideas in continuous delivery where new features are introduced in the trunk but controlled, hidden, by configuration. Our configuration is controlled by configure. -- %% Mats _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
