Re: [PATCH] Xft patch reloaded, #3

Hrvoje> I'm aware of that. I don't want to have conversations like this: "I Hrvoje> heard XEmacs now supports Xft. How do I enable it?" "Configure Hrvoje> --with-xft." "Croatian characters no longer work!" "I forgot to Hrvoje> mention: Xft completely breaks Mule, you have to compile without Mule Hrvoje> to get Xft." (Not to mention that East-Asian users don't have a Hrvoje> choice of whether to use Mule or not: for them it's a necessity.) Oh, come on, Hrvoje. This is easily handled by informative messages from configure. Nobody's forcing you to have conversations like this. Hrvoje> We are either serious about supporting Mule or we are not. I am Hrvoje> surprised that you, as a developer, would even suggest introducing a Hrvoje> major feature that breaks it. We're going round in circles here: Lots of patches (especially big ones) break *something*. Except in this case we know about it, because Eric and Matthias were gracious enough to be upfront about it. They also offered (despite your claim to the contrary) on fixing the breakage. -- Cheers =8-} Mike Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla
