SJT> Anybody know if this is a font bug or an XEmacs bug? It's an XEmacs bug. There are many situations where xemacs assumes all the characters on a line are the same height as the default face ASCII font. The same thing happens in the modeline. To make your xemacs exhibit these kinds of bugs more often, try: ;; Big fonts (when (fboundp 'define-specifier-tag) (define-specifier-tag 'user) (when (and (featurep 'mule) (fboundp 'set-face-font)) (set-face-font 'default '("-dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-s sans-*-iso8859-1" "-watanabe-fixed-medium-r-normal--48-450-75-75-c-480-jisx0208.1983-0" "-etl-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-80-viscii1.1-1" "-etl-fixed-medium-r-normal--24-240-72-72-c-120-viscii1.1-1" "-dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-xxl*" "-daewoo-mincho-medium-r-normal--24-170-100-100-c-240-ksc5601.1987-0" "-etl-fixed-medium-r-normal--24-240-72-72-c-120-viscii1.1-1" "-virach-fixed-medium-r-normal--24-240-75-75-c-70-xtis-0" "-virach-fixed-medium-r-normal--24-240-75-75-c-70-xtis620.2529-1") nil '(user) 'remove-tag-set-prepend)))

No, that's the working-as-designed behavior! SJT> It seems in the past that XEmacs would clip those overtall boxes. Am SJT> I misremembering? I personally prefer that behavior. I want to be able to read my 40-pixel kanji. "Overtall" is in the eye of the beholder.
