Per> In Emacs 21 :bold and :italic are being fased out in favor of Per> :weight and :slant. :bold and :italic are still recognized Per> by `defface' for backward compatibility, but not by Per> `customize-face'. :weight is obviously a good idea (although I wish somebody would define weight quantitatively in a way that makes it possible to match weights for different character sets). What values does :slant take? It had better not be a boolean, nor numerical: italic != slanted. Or have they given up on trying to match roman and italic fonts by family, and are doing it by database? -- 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?
