Italic fonts show up as small UNitalic fonts
This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team,
not to your local site managers!!
Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
In XEmacs 21.4 (patch 3) "Academic Rigor" [Lucid] (i686-pc-linux) of Tue Jul 10
2001 on eos.redmond.cacheflow.com
configured using `configure --prefix=/home/david.karr/local'
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
I'm on Redhat 7.1, uname reports "2.2.17-8". I'm displaying on Win2k,
using
ReflectionX.
This is probably just some sort of weird ReflectionX issue, but I don't
understand what is going on here.
All my faces that are supposed to be mapped to italic fonts show up in this
little UNitalic font.
For instance, the one that is causing me the most trouble, "shell-output-face",
says the font is "-*-courier-medium-i-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*". The output
in my shell buffer is clearly not an italic font. My shell-prompt-face is
fine, because that's not an italic font.
I tried running "xfontsel", and noticed something curious. After I set
"slant"
to "i", in the options for the "family" setting, "courier"
is grayed out. So,
I guess from this that the "courier" family can't give me italics. So, I
noticed that "lucida" is not grayed out, so I tried that.
I tried going into "Options"->"Edit Faces", found "Shell
Output Face" (and the
sample showed up in the little unitalic font). I clicked on the arrow button
to expand it. I noticed that "Font Family" was unchecked, so I checked it and
typed "lucida" into the text box and pressed Return twice. Then at the top of
the buffer, I clicked "Set", "Save", and then "Done". I
tried redisplaying my
shell buffer, and deleting it and recreating it, but it still had the small
unitalic font.
I then did "apropos face", grepped for "shell-output-face", put my
cursor on it
and pressed Return. The "Face" sample still had the small unitalic font, and
the "Font:" field was
"-*-courier-medium-i-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*".
The "Property-list:" at least showed some sign I had affected it, here is the
contents of that:
Property-list:
force-face: rogue
saved-face-comment: nil
theme-face: ((user set ((t (:family "lucida" :italic t)))))
saved-face: ((t (:family "lucida" :italic t)))
face-comment: nil
customized-face-comment: nil
custom-face-display: t
customized-face: nil
custom-requests: nil
custom-type: face
standard-value: ((quote shell-output-face))
I wouldn't be surprised if this really isn't a "bug", but some obscure
operator
error that is unclear to me, but I really don't understand what I've done
wrong.
