Re: unable to adjust fonts in my own builds on SuSE Linux

Steven> XEmacs 21.4.8 "Honest Recruiter" configured for `i386-suse-linux'. and Steven> XEmacs 21.5-b9 "brussels sprouts" configured for `i686-pc-linux'. oo-er Well, now you know why it's called "bleeding edge." There's a reason SuSE doesn't distribute 21.5. 21.5 is _not_ ready for prime time. Anything related to text processing has been thoroughly massaged in order to make it Unicode compatible and to add Mule support on Windows. This includes font handling. 21.5 is reasonably stable in operation at the present time (but that could change at any time). That doesn't mean it's completely functional, and definitely a lot of work remains to be done. If you want to use 21.5 _now_ you had better get familiar with stuff like `set-face-font' and so on, and be prepared for stuff to just not work. I doubt Custom (the options setting mechanism) will get fixed in the near future. The people more or less actively working on 21.5 all have specific non-UI projects they're concentrating on. I'm planning to look into Custom myself, but don't expect results in the next month or two. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN My nostalgia for Icon makes me forget about any of the bad things.
