Bold and Italic fonts

Jan, what is current status on Custom and faces? claudia> I have found that between XEmacs 20.4 and the new claudia> 21.whatever series (both in 21.1 and 21.2), both bold and claudia> italic fonts have stopped changing size when the font claudia> size is changed. The problem is that Custom uses a different font model from the internal implementation. It used to be (20.3 and maybe 20.4) that there was special purpose Lisp code for changing faces, but this conflicted with Custom. So there was a complete changeover of all face customization to Custom, and there are still bugs and omissions in the support. Eg, AFAIK Custom still has no concept of a non-ASCII/ISO-8859-1 font, although that may have changed. The person who knows most about this is probably Jan Vroonhof <vroonhof(a)math.ethz.ch&gt;. He has been active in working on Custom (checking xemacs-patches and the changelogs) off and on, but he hasn't issued a status report in some time. claudia> Is nobody else seeing this? Any ideas on what I might be claudia> doing wrong, if anything? Or is this a true bug (I don't claudia> believe this is the intended behaviour)? You are doing nothing wrong, this is a true bug, it is long-standing, it is very hard to fix correctly. It is being worked on, but there have been debates about the best approach to fixing it. -- 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?
