Examining font properties under Windows 20 years, 6 months

Hrvoje Niksic

Here's a simple question: how do I find whether a face is bold? How about italic? Under X11, I can examine (font-instance-properties (face-font-instance face)). Then, if the property `WEIGHT_NAME' equals "Bold", the face is probably bold. If 'SLANT equals "i" or "o", the face is for my purposes italic. I have a strange feeling that this doesn't work on non-X11 devices. It might even failed under X11-based devices that provide their own font model (Qt?), under the condition that XEmacs actually uses it. So my question is: what does `font-instance-properties' return under Windows? If the answer is "nothing" or "nothing useful", is there another way to detect boldness etc.?

[Bug: 21.4.13] Running shell corrupts display 20 years, 6 months

Nicholas Raphael

================================================================ Dear Bug Team! When I run Alt-x shell, a shell seems to get spawned in my current bu ffer, but all text is n ow invisible, a different size 'font' appears to be referenced, the cursor changes for example to a thinner block, and very soon, my xemacs locks up. ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: CYGWIN_NT-5.0 TSUNAMI 1.3.20(0.73/3/2) 2003-02-08 12:10 i686 unknown unknown Cygwin ./configure '--with-dragndrop' '--with-postgresql=no' '--with-x=no' '--bindir=/usr/local/bin/i686-pc-cygwin' '--with-site-lisp=yes' '--with-ipv6-cname=no' '--with-netinstall' XEmacs 21.4.13 "Rational FORTRAN" configured for `i686-pc-cygwin'.

Re: /a nfs mount 20 years, 6 months

Jerry James

Please don't drop the mailing list. Somebody else may have more of a clue than I do, and you are hiding information from them by taking the thread to private email. In general, all traffic about a project should be on that project's mailing list, unless you are explicitly asked by a developer to go to private email. Jason Yang <Jason.Yang(a)harmonicinc.com> wrote [regarding directory-abbrev-alist]: > You are right, the value is (("\\`/a/", "/net/")) > How can I change it? I found where this is set. In lisp/paths.el, almost the very end of the file, there are a bunch of translations for known automounter temporary mount points. You have fallen victim to the FreeBSD 2.2 automounter rule. To fix this, you will need to (setq directory-abbrev-alist nil) somewhere. It will work for you personally to put this into your startup file (~/.emacs or ~/.xemacs/init.el, as the case may be). However, if other people are using the same machine, then that ought to go into the site initialization file. Better yet, pick some name other than /a for that mount point. :-) Jason Yang <Jason.Yang(a)harmonicinc.com> also wrote: > Actually, I got a lot of warning messages when I compiled it. > The messages look like: > Warning: call from here > Warning: inlining failed to call 'some_name' That seems to be new with gcc 3.3. It shouldn't have anything to do with your problem, though. (In fact, it shouldn't hurt anything. It just means that we're being less efficient with some code than would otherwise be the case.) -- Jerry James http://www.ittc.ku.edu/~james/

RE: /a nfs mount 20 years, 6 months

Jason Yang

Hi Jerry, Thank you for your response. Yes, /a is being mounted with an automounter, it's a direct mount. Other mounts are working fine. Solaris 8 is running on this system. I do not know about directory-abbrev-alist. Could you tell me how to change it? Thank you very much.

Could you help me fix it? Is /a being mounted with an automounter? What is the value of directory-abbrev-alist in an XEmacs that behaves this way? On what kind of Unix system is that XEmacs running?

/a nfs mount 20 years, 6 months

Jason Yang

Hi, I just installed the Xemacs 21.4.14 on my Unix systems. I have a NFS mount /a on all of my systems. When I tried to open a file on this volume, the xemacs will look for different file, for example: if the original path is /a/tools/src/test1.c, Xemacs will look for /net/tools/src/test1.c. Is this weird? Could you help me fix it? Thanks, Jason

Whence the future package? 20 years, 6 months

Jerry James

What is the status of the "future" package? I have a function I'd like to put in there to simplify an Emacs synch I'm working on. ;; XEmacs < 2.5.16 supports only 2 parameters to pos-visible-in-window-p. ;; Ignoring the third argument (PARTIALLY) is safe, in the sense that it may ;; make the display slightly less pretty than it would be if the argument were ;; supported, but nothing will crash or return incorrect results. (when (eq (function-max-args #'pos-visible-in-window-p) 2) (defconst internal-pos-visible-in-window-p (symbol-function 'pos-visible-in-window-p) "The builtin function originally named `pos-visible-in-window-p'.") (fset 'pos-visible-in-window-p #'(lambda (&optional pos window partially) "Returns t if position POS is currently on the frame in WINDOW. Returns nil if that position is scrolled vertically out of view. If a character is only partially visible, nil is returned, unless the optional argument PARTIALLY is non-nil. POS defaults to point in WINDOW's buffer; WINDOW, to the selected window." (funcall internal-pos-visible-in-window-p pos window)))) Should I use defadvice instead? (FWIW, I first used lexical-let instead of the defconst above, but that mangled the docstring of pos-visible-in-window-p. This is essentially what lexical-let expands to, anyway.) -- Jerry James http://www.ittc.ku.edu/~james/

I haven't actually done this, but it seems like the description in cc-langs.el, along with the above reference, should give you enough information.

Help with cc-mode configuration 20 years, 6 months

Jake Colman

I have not received a reply to this from the cc-mode mailing list so I thought I'd ask over here. How can I 'teach' cc-mode about new access keywords? In other words, in addition to the usual "private", "protected" and "public" I also want to add "signals" and "slots" each of which can be preceded with an appropriate access level. Does anyone have a clue? Thanks! -- Jake Colman -- XEmacs Tinkerer

Re: gtk mule-fonts note 20 years, 6 months

The reason for using this tag is to tell Custom _not_ to clear those fonts from the faces. I don't know what Custom currently does, but its attitude had always been "ALL FACES YOURS NOW FACES OURS ARE", and it freely trashed anything it doesn't recognize as being specific to some package. The way to associate a font with a charset is simply to use an XLFD that matches that charset. The match is defined by the 'registry property of the charset. For example (charset-registry 'ascii) => "\\(iso8859-[0-9]*\\|-ascii\\)" (charset-registry 'latin-iso8859-15) => "iso8859-15" Probably the first one should be fixed to match "iso646-irv" as well. >> I understand that the tag mule-fonts is only defined with Mule >> support, but I don't understand what this has to do with the >> console-type Specifier tags are semantically significant to XEmacs core only when they "match" a specific device. If any of the tags do not match a particular device, then that specification will not be used on that device. For this reason, specifier tag definitions tend to collect in device initialization code, although when used as "ids" for a particular module's specifications there is no need for that. It's also true that whether or not Mule is implemented has historically been strongly associated with specific device types. Ilya> You mean device type?

But he never had the problems with Custom trashing his faces, so he may or may not have been aware of the need for a specifier tag to protect non-ASCII/Latin-1 fonts from Custom. -- 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.
