Re: X-symbol and xft branch

Ar an t-aonú lá déag de mí Márta, scríobh Stephen J. Turnbull: The font instantiation code is only called the first time a character from a given character set is accessed for a given font, and the XFT font chosen for some text is, as a result, intimately dependent on that text’s Mule character set. Changing that would involve much restructuring of the redisplay code, and would probably be a big performance hit, for a short-term improvement in display. Stefan, you can add support for those characters to your XFT build by following a procedure detailed here; http://cvs.xemacs.org/viewcvs.cgi/XEmacs/xemacs/src/unicode.c.diff?r1=1.2... You will also need to call set-language-unicode-precedence-list to move the Mule character set you create before any other character sets that have those symbols available. Give me a shout of what I’ve just written isn’t clear enough. This is just another reason for us to move away from the Mule internal encoding.
