But I would like us not to do so.

The whole face-creation policy and its supporting code needs to be rethought. Too many packages have their own versions of "emphasized" and similar common faces. Packages like Gnus have huge suites of faces that could easily be reused, but nobody does. I wonder if this could be at least partially alleviated by making a point of autoloading at least the commonly reusable faces? Then there's the domain/locale feature of specifiers that rarely gets used. It _should_ allow a messaging agent like Gnus to specify a spec for emphasized text that is different in summaries and message buffers, or different between the message buffer and an extent containing a citation, but nobody ever uses it that way. -- 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?
