Dear Bug Team!
Running xemacs 21.4.15 on a gentoo system, (list-fonts "*") only
returns 5000 fonts, although on my system XListFonts returns 12836
fonts. The result is that when I am using a font that doesn't happen
to be in the first 5000 according to whatever bizarre order X uses, if
I go to the Options menu and click on Font, I get a greyed out "Cannot
parse current font" (which is wrong: the font was parsed fine, it just
wasn't found in the cache).
This is because in src/objects-x.c, we find:
/* Unbounded, for sufficiently small values of infinity... */
#define MAX_FONT_COUNT 5000
and then
x_list_fonts (Lisp_Object pattern, Lisp_Object device)
{
Extbyte **names;
int count = 0;
Lisp_Object result = Qnil;
const Extbyte *patternext;
LISP_STRING_TO_EXTERNAL (pattern, patternext, Qx_font_name_encoding);
names = XListFonts (DEVICE_X_DISPLAY (XDEVICE (device)),
patternext, MAX_FONT_COUNT, &count);
while (count--)
result = Fcons (build_ext_string (names[count], Qx_font_name_encoding),
result);
if (names)
XFreeFontNames (names);
return result;
}
Could 5000 be replaced with a number that is unbounded for a somewhat
larger value of infinity? (I replaced it with 32768 and recompiled,
and the problem went away). Also, it would be nice if when this limit
is exceeded a more useful error message was given (since it took me a
couple of hours to track this down).
