Yes, that sounds familiar!
Also saw tons of BadMatch on X_PolySegment as above.
After upgrading X using the developer (unofficial) build from
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/xquartz/wiki/Releases
and rebuilding XEmacs it all works great. On perception alone, it
seems just as fast to me as non-XFT XEmacs, altho cpu usage maybe
a bit higher when typing.
Excellent news. I therefore plan to install one of these releases in
due course and try XEmacs again. Thanks for the infomation :)
