While I admit that Unicode inside would be better: however, given that we
can now preserve arbitrary Unicode with the current architecture without
trouble--the lack of this feature was the primary reason I wanted to move
when I proposed it--and given that building and testing on
X11-server-side-mule, X11-server-side-nomule, XFT-mule, XFT-nomule,
GTK-mule, GTK-nomule, Win32-mule, Win32-nomule before committing any change
is already a _lot_ of work, I have personally no intention of committing a
change that adds Unicode internally as a compile-time flag.
I intend to get what I have working locally, and up to date--it isn’t
now--and I will post that to -patches. But the trade off of so much more
testing versus the limited advantages to it (better behaviour when
searching, and faster redisplay on XFT and Windows, and OK, a more
understandable architecture) doesn’t seem sensible to me. If the option of
no-Mule is removed, or we removed support for GTK, then that would be
different.

Which is well and good, it’s desired that the autosave files reflect XEmacs’
state, not necessarily what will be written. Similarly 南 will be preserved
in auto-saves and trashed in iso-8859-2 buffers.

Which is well and good, what the coding systems do will be irrelevant if the
buffer is unmodified, because they’re not invoked.

Much less work than allowing coding systems to throw errors, as I understand
it.

Well, David’s problem is an actual problem. And the many ways in which we
fail http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/examples/UTF-8-test.txt is something
that annoys me the purist in me immensely--implementing such a thing would
address both.

Is it correct? or was font.el omitted on purpose?

Your 2006-11-01 change of `sysdep.c' in main cvs trunk makes `strlwr',
`wcslen' require iso c99, and breaks compilation with pre- c99
compilers. Please fix.

[AC21.5] Fix breakage in xftFont resource for tabs and menubar
18 years, 1 month
Stephen J. Turnbull
Stephen J. Turnbull
APPROVE COMMIT 21.5
Tested on Mac OS X "Tiger".
There have been several reports of problems with Xft font resources
recently. This patch addresses issues with use of *X resources* to
set Xft fonts for the Tabs and Menubar. It will not help the others
(including very poor Options Menu and Customize support, and problems
with buffer fonts).
Apparently some experimental work I was doing on creating an Xt
resource converter for Xft fonts leaked into an integration branch.
As part of that work I changed the name of the resource used for Xft
fonts from "xftFont" to "fcFontName", and reserved the xftFont
resource for the (incomplete) automatic converter.
This patch restores the functionality of the "xftFont" resource of the
Tabs and Menubar widgets. For completeness, I will mention that it
gives precedence to the fcFontName resource, but this is only for my
convenience; this patch should "just work" with properly set xftFont
resources in .Xresources.
I've also changed the default font for Tabs from the absurd Aircut to
Helvetica. (I'm currently using Bitstream Vera:italic, which is a
nice effect.)

Stephen thinks that all of these should be converted to use the face
approach, perhaps with some way to set specifications for individual

this resource, and convert to a face in XEmacs rather than a font in
Xt/Xft.

By the way, that’s very wrong, and always has been. The function
x-keysym-on-keyboard-p has been available for years, and JWZ’s complaining
about which modifiers are bound to which keysyms *requires* intimate
knowledge of the keyboard layout, worked out at each start.
On X11 we do fall back to the US key layout to solve the ‘Russian C-x
problem’ as Ben called it. But this is specific to 21.5.
> It just accepts keysyms from the server.
Also, not totally true--for things like some X11 input methods, where they
supply nonsensical keysym numbers with single-character string keysym names,
those names are interpreted using keyboard-coding-system and bound to
self-insert-command.

change log file, navigate to the changes
18 years, 1 month
Uwe Brauer
Uwe Brauer
Hello
Does anybody know about a package which would allow to
annote the changes but set a mark, such that later I could navigate to
that part of the buffer where the change occurred. Bm.el or bookmark.el
would be candidates, but they are not connected to change-log
Example
Original file
Hello world.
This is a great idea.
Changed to
Hello world.
This is a good idea.
Change log entry would be
2006-11-16 Uwe Brauer <oub(a)mat.ucm.es>
* test: Change great to good.
Setting the mouse say on test, and using a modified ffap-guesser
XEmacs would jump where the change occurred. In order to do this at
least the char-number should be stored, best would be a string before
and after the change in order to simplify the search. Bm.el and
bookmarks.el do this.
Thanks and regards
Uwe Brauer
