Re: translated menus with Xft/fontconfig?

Glynn Clements writes: No, and "hell, no" (the name of the app-defaults file is XEmacs ;-), respectively. The default menu labels are initialized by X resources (a lazy kludge IMHO), but this should be considered an implementation detail, similar to initializing Lisp variables in C. User customizations of menus should be done in Lisp. I don't have an objection to making it easier to use X resources to customize XEmacs, but this is clearly secondary to improving Lisp support of menu customization for several reasons. Use of .Xresources, .Xdefaults, or app-defaults files is a dying art, killed by GNOME and KDE, not to mention the dominance of Windows where they are a completely foreign concept. X's handling of of non-UTF-8 locales is less than stellar, and won't improve. Use of anything other than UTF-8 (and maybe UTF-16 on Windows) in configuration files is also going the way of the dinosaurs. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
