Re: Examining font properties under Windows

GNU Emacs 21.3.1 still doesn't even really support faces as far as Mule is concerned. They support X Font Sets, which only work with X Compound Text, ie, ISO-2022-me-harder. And GNU Emacs 21.3.1 has no user commands that manipulate fontsets (at least, M-x apropos lists only describe-fontset and list-fontsets). And I'll bet that their face properties work by parsing XLFDs and other font names, anyway; it's just hidden from you by the Custom machinery. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
