It would work if you copied the fonts, too, I think.
I just tried it on Cygwin, and you don’t even need to copy the fonts.
So? It's still a nasty hack that typical users of legacy systems
are not
going to expect to need, and the need is going to be less than obvious.
"*" should match "fixed" without any need for hacks.
Wrong; either there’s an abstraction-breaking hack in the XEmacs code, or
the particularly driven user with a particularly broken X server gets to
implement a hack. We have been saying for literally ten years to use XLFDs:
1.1 (steve 18-Dec-96): versions. All X fonts can be referred to via
XLFD-style names, so you
1.1 (steve 18-Dec-96): should use those forms. See the man pages for
@samp{X(1)},
1.1 (steve 18-Dec-96): @samp{xlsfonts(1)}, and @samp{xfontsel(1)}.
1.1 (steve 18-Dec-96):
(from the CVS annotation of man/custom.texi) and I don’t think it
unreasonable to enforce that now.
