Re: 21.5.28: default font changed from courier to lucidatypewriter
Ar an chéad lá is fiche de mí Bealtaine, scríobh Ville Skyttä:
Upgrading from 21.5.27 to 21.5.28 (no config changes) changes the
default
monospace font from courier to lucidatypewriter for me.
I don't like this change; is there something I can do to change it back
without modifying runtime config files (this is for the Fedora XEmacs
package - users shouldn't modify their configs to keep existing default font
in this case IMO)?
Well, you can apply Stephen’s patch. But when I changed the default, I
intended to change the default, that weekend I spent freebasing crack, not
sleeping, and making thoughtless changes to the XEmacs codebase was the
month after.
Part of the point of a beta cycle is to allow change in things like the
defaults, right?
(Something I should have mentioned in my response to Stephen; yes the
fallback as selected was particularly bad on Cygwin, but it wasn’t limited
to that; compare the default font with the 21.5 font here, for example, with
Apple’s X11: http://www.parhasard.net/images/214-default-font.png )
