latin-ltx: works in 21.4.19 but with problems.

Uwe Brauer writes: My guess is that your Greek font is wild-carded for size in a default font specification. I assume you're on an X-based platform, use (from the command line, including an XEmacs shell buffer or M-x shell) xlsfonts -fn '*-iso8859-7' & to get a list of Greek fonts available on your host in a form usable by XEmacs 21.4. Then use xfd -fn '*-iso8859-7' & to get a look at it. It's possible to do both at the same time with xfontsel, but this probably requires some trickery with the "sample characters" that I'm not up to speed on at the moment. (Go ahead and try xfontsel -pattern '*-iso8859-7' & YMMV.) Then get your current list of fonts for the default face with (face-font 'default) C-j in the *scratch* buffer, and add the Greek font at you've chosen to the front of that list. What you'll see in *scratch* is something like #<font-specifier global=("Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-18:dpi=100" "Kochi Mincho-18:dpi=100") fallback=(((tty) . "normal") ((x) . "Monospace-12") ((x) . "Sazanami Mincho-12")) 0x1fce> and what you want is the 'global' value ("Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-18:dpi=100" "Kochi Mincho-18:dpi=100") ^ +--- put Greek font here, don't forget the space separator! Yes, it's safe to put it at the front; XEmacs will not use a Greek font for ASCII or Latin-1. Yours will look rather different because you will see legacy X fonts not Xft fonts like I have. Then insert the Greek font as indicated above and do (set-face-font 'default LIST) C-j in *scratch*. Find out what character is actually being displayed. Put hte cursor on that character and type C-x =. If you get Char: ? (077, 63, 3f) point=2016 of 2135(94%) column 10 you're out of luck: XEmacs doesn't even know about that character. If you get Char: ∫ (U+222B japanese-jisx0208 34 105) point=1994 of 2273(88%) column 51 or something else not in ASCII, let us know and we can probably find a font that works. Aidan can probably help you more; he's good about following the list so he'll probably show up soon if he has something to contribute. If not, I doubt he'll mind if you ping him politely. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
