Well, after playing around with Xft some more and reading the info about it, I've made the xft build my default xemacs. It works quite nicely so far, and the fonts look quite good. The info file was very helpful in getting things setup, especially the part about using set-face-font to set the default font. Made it easy to try out different fonts and sizes. The known issues about bleeding text and underlines is a little annoying. The underline issue is especially annoying in the minibuffer because I can't see the underline. It looks like a space. Despite this, I like it. Now for a few questions. I've been trying to add various different languages using the Xft info. I have Korean, Japanese, and Chinese working more or less, based on the HELLO page. (No, I can't really read any of that, but it sure is cool!) I'm trying to get the rest of the HELLO page to work. With a non-xft build, the HELLO page just basically works (except for Amharic and Arabic because I don't have those fonts). To make progress, I think I need to know what xemacs is doing to find the fonts for the various languages. In particular, Thai is not working, but I'm pretty sure I have Thai fonts. I also have Arabic fonts, but I can't get that to work either. Any hints on how to figure out what xemacs is doing to select fonts in the non-xft build?
