This is sweet. Having a break in my schedule, I've been devoting time to looking once again at XEmacs with a view to bringing myself up to date and cleaning out years of accumulated cruft. So far things are going extremely well. Re: MULE Got it. All is well again. Ha! Ahem. Well, I have it now, so if I ever need it, it's there. I have macports, did not explicitly install Xft, freetype, or fontconfig. In fact I've used it to install very little -- just a few things I really like and need. So as an experiment I rebuilt xemacs using --with-mule and --with-xft, and got no errors at all. Well and good. I do still have some display problems, but those are the subject of an upcoming query. Well enough that I've officially abandoned xemacs 21.4.whatever-it-was, never to return. I'm an extremely pleased camper this morning. I no longer have need ever to run it remotely, in tty mode or otherwise. I'm semi-retired (which means I still work full time but for a whole lot less money), and all my work is within the confines of my home. I'm pleased with the progress, but there's still more to follow. -- Lynn David Newton Columbus, Ohio neologisticsediting.com lynndavidnewton.com _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
