Re: Patch queue status

APA> How we make use of ps-bdf.el and ps-mule.el remains to be APA> discussed. I don't know about ps-bdf.el. It's needed for complete coverage of Mule charsets, I suppose, but the idea of using X bitmaps to print fills me with horror. ps-mule.el is going to require a lot of porting because it uses the "string-as-*byte" functionality, which is a horrible kludge. APA> My upcoming patch will deliver a merged ps-print.el somewhat APA> more up-to-date than emac-20.7 ps-print, BUT with MULE APA> functionality commented out. At least this time commenting out Mule won't destroy people's data. I will, however, veto any patch if the resulting library doesn't check for unsupported charsets and issue a warning if (featurep 'mule). Wasting paper and toner is not nice, either. -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
