I'm happy to try that, but it'll probably have to wait until the end of
the week due to other commitments.
I got around to this today. I realize that Uwe's font issues have been
resolved, but I'm seeing something I don't understand.
I, too, am seeing a very small infinity symbol when I view the table in
TeX-escape-region.el. I have
Emacs.default.AttributeFont: -*-fixed-medium-r-*-*-*-120-100-*-*-*-iso8859-
in my .Xresources, so I thought maybe it's because XEmacs has to use a
different font for the infinity symbol. But if I change .Xresources to
use
Emacs.default.AttributeFont: -*-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-120-100-*-*-*-iso10646-*
and restart XEmacs, I still get a small infinity symbol. But xfontsel
shows a perfectly usable (larger) infinity symbol for that fontspect.
Using the ffi2 and ffi3 functions (thanks, Robert!), I see that XEmacs
is still using a different font for the infinity:
#<font-instance
"-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1" on
#<x-device on ":0.0" 0x2> font id: 0x3a0020d, 0x72>
and it's using an iso8859 font for normal characters like "i":
#<font-instance
"-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-120-100-100-c-90-iso8859-1" on #<x-device on
":0.0" 0x2> font id: 0x3a0007a, 0x64>
Is this to be expected? Why isn't XEmacs using
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso10646-1
for the infinity? It has a perfectly fine infinity symbol (according to
xfontsel).
This is with 21.5.31 (f87be7ddd60d).
thanks,
mike
