Re: [PATCH] x-symbol should have a _real_ binary package

For anyone interested, X-Symbol is now (Version 3.2a, package 1.04) a real binary package, i.e., there is no need to create fonts and set the font path -- thanks to Jim Radford. http://www.fmi.uni-passau.de/~wedler/x-symbol/ I managed to keep the binary package as small as before (em... 2.2MB, 430k compressed) by not including all sizes of foreign fonts into the binary distribution (i.e., only those sizes which are supported by my own font). There is still the source distribution for more bdf files... JR> Since it seems that directories are not listed in the MANIFEST we JR> could, when removing a package, just remove even if not empty any JR> directories that are listed in the MANIFEST. Since this is not yet supported, etc/x-symbol/bin/ is not yet mentioned in the MANIFEST. - Christoph Changes in X-Symbol 3.2a (package 1.04) --------------------------------------- * Package X-Symbol is really a proper XEmacs package: no need to create fonts and to set the font path. With XEmacs/no-Mule, I still recommend to create the executables, though (type `M-x x-symbol-exec-create'). * New functions used for interaction with Emacs package `comint'. This is necessary for new token language "Isabelle symbol", to be distributed with Emacs package ProofGeneral (http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/home/proofgen/). * New characters used for token languages "TeX macro" and "Isabelle symbol". * Minor changes. Manual changes.
