Font-bug?

Marcus> I am sure that the font I am trying to assign to this Marcus> face, is available as a bold-italic version. You've checked this with xfontsel or something similar that actually displays the font? Is it possible that you have an unscaled font that your X server/fontserver is trying to scale to that size? The implementation of font searching in many common servers is pretty broken, and inconsistent across vendors. We do the best we can, AFAIK, but we haven't had a real X grok look at that stuff in a long time. Make sure other tools find the font you expect. Marcus> It would be nice if someone could tell me whats going on Marcus> there. It could be a Custom bug. Custom is a nice idea that didn't really get finished before being made the default. But all the people who know much about it have recently become employed. However, I do get the bold-oblique expected in this situation (Debian Linux, pretty close to vanilla sid). So maybe you have an old X resource for that face or something like that. If not, try (define-specifier-tag 'a-unique-tag) (set-face-font 'bold-italic "-adobe-courier-bold-o-normal-*-*-120-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1" 'global '(a-unique-tag) 'prepend) in your init file. -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
