The rest of my work (i.e. the basic infrastructure) is in the XEmacs CVS/betas. I have to finish my thesis before I can do any more serious work on it. Always useful. If this is the same as in 20.4 then I consider this extremely ugly. Note that in XEmacs 21.2 I've been trying to move away from font.el (and use frob-face-property functions), however that also got stuck by time constraints. Yes. Don't expect it to be before the end of January for the serious stuff. :-( Another thing: I and Dave Love had sort-of agreed that any new options in the customize-set-variables lines would be using keywords (starting with the comment stuff). Presumably that would greatly enhance cross Emacs and cross version compatibility. If you do that on the FSF side I'll do it here. Jan P.S. Would it be possible (politically) to insert a comment in the custom.el files to _please_ always contact us on customize options changes. Currently customize options are portable across Emacsen. I would love for it to stay that way.
