Re: Font problem with 21.4.3 (and eventually 21.1.14)

OoO En ce doux début de matinée du lundi 23 juillet 2001, vers 08:25, Stephen J Turnbull <turnbull(a)sk.tsukuba.ac.jp&gt; disait: Vincent> I am using "Courier New" at "9 pt" as regular font.

Well, I am not sure it is only a problem with Customize. If I set the default font to be Courier New, 9pt in the custom.el, Bold and Italic are 12 pt high. When I use resources to do exactly the same thing, Bold and Italic are 9 pt high. However, in custom.el, I use only the "short name" (i.e. Courier New) and in the resource, I use the long name (-monotype-Courier New-etc). However I have only one Courier New. I have used GTK Emacs 21.1.12 for a while and I don't remember to have run into this problem. However, I was only using programming modes which seldom use bold fonts so I may have missed the problem. I have not tried 21.4.3 with GTK since it was totally broken (scrollbars missing and and additional window was displayed, like a speedbar but under XEmacs and horizontally). I am using XFree 4.0.3 with xfs font server patched to use True Type font as well. Note, that the problem was the same with standard xfs and Courier in Type1. -- SHOOTING PAINTBALLS IS NOT AN ART FORM SHOOTING PAINTBALLS IS NOT AN ART FORM SHOOTING PAINTBALLS IS NOT AN ART FORM -+- Bart Simpson on chalkboard in episode 5F23
