Re: Italic-Fonts does not change

Sorry for my previous "not formatted" posting! I was using the newest net-utils...but the problem is my mailer (mew) which does not ccoperate with "report-emacs-bug". I started "xemacs -vanilla", using "report-xemacs-bug then and pasted the result back into mew. Hopefully this will be ok.... Here is my mail: To: xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org Subject: Fontproblems --text follows this line-- This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team, not to your local site managers!! Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. Please describe as succinctly as possible: - What happened. - What you thought should have happened. - Precisely what you were doing at the time. Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have. ================================================================ Dear Bug Team! What happened: I used "customize-face (all)" to set the simple "italic" font to someting more readable as the default. Regardless what I used as "arguments" to the customize dialog -- the font does not change at all. I restarted X and Xemacs -- no change. I tried the same changes to the "Modeline" font and it changed accordingly to the "arguments" I gave to that customize dialog. Even setting it to italic with a greater font size works. What I thought should have happened: Every change I could do to the "Modeline" font should work also with the "Italic" font. I do much TeX and everytime I use a for example {\it foo bar} in AUC-TeX "foo bar" is rendered unreadable, cause AUC-TeX displays this font using the "Italic" font. What I was doing: Starting XEmacs, loading a TeX-file, trying to read the italic font used by AUC-TeX (no success), tried to change especially the font size of that font by customize-face (all)...no change seems to impress "customize". Frustration... ;-) Same changes to the "Modeline" font works... I am using XFree86 4.1.0 on an Athlon 600MHz, 128MB Ram. ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: Linux solfire 2.4.13 #1 Wed Oct 24 14:45:08 CEST 2001 i686 unknown ./configure '--with-database=no' '--with-menubars=lucid' '--with-scrollbars=lucid' '--with-x' '--with-dialogs=lucid' '--with-menubars=lucid' '--with-widgets=lucid' '--with-canna=no' '--with-gcc' '--with-sound=none' '--with-png' '--with-jpeg' '--with-xpm' '--site-includes=/usr/include' '--site-libraries=/usr/lib' '--cflags=-O3 -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -mpentiumpro -march=pentiumpro -malign-functions=4 -funroll-loops -fexpensive-optimizations -malign-double -fschedule-insns2 -mwide-multiply' '--dynamic' '--error-checking=none' '--debug=no' '--with-debug-malloc=no' '--with-pop' '--x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include' '--x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib' '--prefix=/usr' XEmacs 21.4.5 "Civil Service" configured for `i686-pc-linux'.
