Re: --with-xfs and Emacs.ad

I wanted to submit it of course but I was busy and forgot. Sorry. Patch attached. This patch just adds !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !! FontSet for menus when you use --with-xfs or --with-xim=xlib. *fontSet: -gnu-unifont-medium-r-normal--16-160-75-75-p-80-iso10646-1,-*-*-medium-r-normal--16-*-*-*-c-*-*-* to all the app-default files for all currently available languages: xemacs-21.4.8.orig/etc/Emacs.ad xemacs-21.4.8/etc/Emacs.ad packages/mule-packages/locale/app-defaults/de/Emacs packages/mule-packages/locale/app-defaults/fr/Emacs packages/mule-packages/locale/app-defaults/ja/Emacs packages/mule-packages/locale/app-defaults/ro/Emacs I don't use *FontSet: -*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-* because this would neither work in ja_JP.eucJP nor in UTF-8 locales. I believe the fontSet I am currently specifying is a reasonable default, -*-*-medium-r-normal--16-*-*-*-c-*-*-* will match something reasonable almost always. At least for the European languages, Japanese, Korean, and simp. Chinese there are fonts matching that pattern already in XFree86. Trad. Chines fonts matching that pattern are in the GNU Intlfonts 1.2 packages. Therefore this pattern should almost always work. For iso10646-1 I explicitely specify the GNU Unicode font, because -*-*-medium-r-normal--16-*-*-*-c-*-*-* would also match fonts containing only half-width or only full-width characters in UTF-8 locale. This would not work well for ja_JP.UTF-8. I believe among the bitmap fonts covering both half-width and full-width characters, the GNU Unicode font is most likely to be installed. I know that it is installed by default on SuSE Linux. Therefore I believe the fontSet I chose above should almost always work. If XEmacs is started e.g. like LANG=ja_JP xemacs it won't find /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/ja/Emacs there I create symlinks when installing in the xemacs.spec file: # add Japanese translations for liece menus to Japanese app-defaults: cat packages/xemacs-packages/liece/etc/Emacs.ad >> /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/ja/Emacs # Make symlinks for international app-defaults: ln -sf de /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/de_DE ln -sf de /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/de_DE＠euro ln -sf fr /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/fr_FR ln -sf fr /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/fr_FR＠euro ln -sf ja /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/ja_JP ln -sf ja /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/ja_JP.ujis ln -sf ja /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/ja_JP.EUC ln -sf ja /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/ja_JP.eucJP ln -sf ro /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/ro_RO and to make it work in the UTF-8 locales as well, I create UTF-8 versions of the app-defaults files from the original versions and store them in xx_YY.UTF-8 directories: # create international app-defaults for UTF-8 locales: pushd /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/ for i in de_DE fr_FR ja_JP ro_RO do mkdir $i.UTF-8 iconv -f $(LC_ALL=$i locale charmap) -t UTF-8 < $i/Emacs > $i.UTF-8/Emacs perl -pi -e 's/-\*- coding:.*-\*-/-\*- coding: utf-8 -\*-/' $i.UTF-8/Emacs done popd # install the standard app-defaults file used for all languages # which don't have their own app-defaults file above: mkdir -p /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/ install -m 644 etc/Emacs.ad /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XEmacs -- Mike Fabian <mfabian(a)suse.de&gt; http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。
