FAQ Q5.0.7: How can I use antialiased fonts under X11?
Vladimir G. Ivanovic writes:
A recent change to the XEmacs FAQ recommends setting the menubar
font
when using XFT thusly:
#define MONO Mono
#define SANS Sans
#define PTSIZEM 12
#define PTSIZES 11
...
XEmacs.menubar.font: SANS:size=PTSIZES
This is wrong. The code for handling font resources is quite complex
and attempts to provide compatibility across Xt fonts and FontSets and
Motif FontLists. Rather than try to make font resources work for Xft
too, I used a different resource, xftFont, like this:
XEmacs*xftFont: SANS:size=PTSIZES
does change the menubar font.
XEmacs.menubar.xftFont: Sans-11
would also work. I'm mildly surprised that the size= keyword works,
AFAIK it's not documented in fontconfig.
Has anyone else gotten 'XEmacs.menubar.font' to work? If so,
under
what conditions?
Works fine with XLFDs and XEmacs configured --without-xft. ;-)
