Hmm. Does starting XEmacs with "-vanilla" change the behavior?
Come to think of it, I thought XEmacs defaulted to Courier if there was
a font problem. But looking at my system, I don't see any "courier"
fonts, just "courier new" and "courier 10 pitch". I'm not sure
what
you'd need to change in the source (if anything) to get XEmacs to use
"courier new" instead of "courier". Maybe someone else can chime in
here...
I came up with a couple shell commands that might give us more clues:
xemacs -vanilla -eval "(shell-command (concat \"echo \" (face-font-name
'default) \" > `tty`\"))" -kill
xemacs -eval "(shell-command (concat \"echo \" (face-font-name
'default) \" > `tty`\"))" -kill
There's probably a more elegant way to get this information, but my Lisp
skills aren't up to the task...
