Re: xemacs-gtk now displaying unicode

Marcus Harnisch writes: Well, now that you're talking about writing the code yourself, that's a different matter entirely. :-) All I'm saying, and I believe Julian is saying the same thing, is that the Xt-based port works best for me now. For my own needs, I expect I will continue to use an Xt build and work mostly on that and Xft improvements, and maybe the Mac port, until GTK is clearly at least as good for me. At present, it clearly is not. The best I can say about the Mac GUI is that it rarely gets in my way. I doubt I could say that about GTK, and in any case XEmacs doesn't implement all that good stuff yet, and it doesn't come for free. Somebody has to jump through the hoops writing the code, and *only then* can you avoid jumping through hoops at run time, no? I'm just saying that I'm not going to be writing that code any time soon, and that I don't want the code that I still use to be removed in favor of some notion of making the code more maintainable or whatever. BTW, I do work with XEmacs displaying windows on workstations with very different displays *simultaneously* about once a week, maybe every other week. As I say, I could do it some other way, but I'm used to this way of working, and it would be unnecessary effort to do it differently. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
