Re: Xft comments

I was just looking at hints for where to look. :-) I don't know anything about X so porting is out of the question for me.

Try editing those lines to Stephen> { &Vcharset_thai_tis620, "Thai", "th" }, Stephen> { &Vcharset_arabic_iso8859_6, "Arabic", "ar" }, Stephen> { &Vcharset_hebrew_iso8859_8, "Hebrew", "he" }, Hmm. I tried that. Thai and Arabic still don't work. I also see that the entry for cyrillic_iso8859_5 appears to work, but the charset_table entry is NULL there. It could very well be that I didn't set up Xft correctly. Here's what I have now: (define-specifier-tag 'lang-ar) (define-specifier-tag 'lang-th) (set-face-font 'default "KacstBook-12" nil '(lang-ar) 'remove-tag-set-append) (set-face-font 'default "BrowalliaUPC-12" nil '(lang-th) 'remove-tag-set-append) I'm pretty sure the fonts are correct. At the very least those are the fonts in /usr/openwin/lib/locale/{ar,th}/X11/fonts/TrueType. I also don't see any messages about checking if font foo handles bar like: checking if Courier New-12 handles Greek Xft font Courier New-12 supports el checking if Courier New Hebrew-12 handles Hebrew Xft font Courier New Hebrew-12 supports he There are no messages about Thai or Arabic. I do see messages for Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. Also, on a different note. Are the fonts for the splash screen done too early for set-face-font 'default in my xemacs init? The columns on the splash screen don't line up if I have different .Xdefaults font and set-face-font. Just curious.
