Hello
I boldly installed latin-ltx, form GNU emacs and it works in
xemacs21.4.19 however there are some problems.
- all Greek symbols are VERY small, I almost need a microscope.
- not all symbols are displayed correctly, ∫ works but
? (\Cap ) Not.
May be some fonts are missing but which?
Thanks
Uwe Brauer

My guess is that your Greek font is wild-carded for size in a default
font specification. I assume you're on an X-based platform, use (from
the command line, including an XEmacs shell buffer or M-x shell)
xlsfonts -fn '*-iso8859-7' &
to get a list of Greek fonts available on your host in a form usable
by XEmacs 21.4. Then use
xfd -fn '*-iso8859-7' &
to get a look at it. It's possible to do both at the same time with
xfontsel, but this probably requires some trickery with the "sample
characters" that I'm not up to speed on at the moment. (Go ahead and
try
xfontsel -pattern '*-iso8859-7' &
YMMV.)
Then get your current list of fonts for the default face with
(face-font 'default) C-j in the *scratch* buffer, and add the Greek
font at you've chosen to the front of that list. What you'll see in
*scratch* is something like
#<font-specifier global=("Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-18:dpi=100" "Kochi
Mincho-18:dpi=100") fallback=(((tty) . "normal") ((x) .
"Monospace-12") ((x) . "Sazanami Mincho-12")) 0x1fce>
and what you want is the 'global' value
("Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-18:dpi=100" "Kochi Mincho-18:dpi=100")
^
+--- put Greek font here, don't forget the space separator!
Yes, it's safe to put it at the front; XEmacs will not use a Greek
font for ASCII or Latin-1. Yours will look rather different because
you will see legacy X fonts not Xft fonts like I have.
Then insert the Greek font as indicated above and do
(set-face-font 'default LIST) C-j
in *scratch*.
- not all symbols are displayed correctly, ∫ works but
? (\Cap ) Not.
Find out what character is actually being displayed. Put hte cursor
on that character and type C-x =. If you get
Char: ? (077, 63, 3f) point=2016 of 2135(94%) column 10
you're out of luck: XEmacs doesn't even know about that character. If
you get
Char: ∫ (U+222B japanese-jisx0208 34 105) point=1994 of 2273(88%) column 51
or something else not in ASCII, let us know and we can probably find a
font that works.
Aidan can probably help you more; he's good about following the list
so he'll probably show up soon if he has something to contribute. If
not, I doubt he'll mind if you ping him politely.

You are right.

(set-face-font 'default LIST) C-j
That worked nicely, thanks,
I have now written the following quick and dirty functions:
(defun my-texutf8-set-greek ()
(interactive)
(set-face-font 'default
"-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso8859-7"))
(defun my-texutf8-set-courier ()
(interactive)
(set-face-font 'default "-*-courier-bold-r-*-*-18-180-*-*-*-*-*-*"))
(defun my-toggle-texutf8-font ()
(interactive "_")
(make-repeat-command 'my-toggle-texutf8-font
'(my-texutf8-set-greek
my-texutf8-set-courier)))
And that is fine for me.
in *scratch*.

that unfortunately seems to be the case :(

Ar an chéad lá is fiche de mí na Nollaig, scríobh Uwe Brauer:

- all Greek symbols are VERY small, I almost need a microscope.
The X11 font selection for non-Latin-1 non-East-Asian charsets was very
crazy, for a very long time. It's improved, but not quite fixed, in XEmacs
21.5 ; see http://mid.gmane.org/17741.4702.584611.225633＠parhasard.net ;
certainly this symptom is gone there.
- not all symbols are displayed correctly, ∫ works but
? (\Cap ) Not.
U+22D2 (what I get when I type \Cap in the TeX input method in 21.5) cannot
be represented as a character in XEmacs 21.4, without much hacking of
Mule-UCS. As such, you won't get a displayable character for it, no matter
what you do. This problem doesn't arise in 21.5, where U+22D2 is represented
without trouble.
Basically, we need to fix your x-symbol-with-21.5 problem and get you
transitioned to 21.5. It may be that I'll be procrastinating enough in the
new year that I will get to this.
