Hi,
I have some problems regarding the change of any argument for
the italic fonts via customize-face (all).
Regardless what I am doing and what I typed as additional
"parameters" for the simple "Italic" font, the font remains
unreadable tiny and ugly.
Even if I switch off all arguments (any radiobutton in "off"-
position, even "italic" switched to off) -- the font remains
italic. Restart of X/Xemacs does not lead to any change.
If I do same things to -- for example -- the "Modeline" font
settings, the word "sample" changes according to the given
arguments.
This is a little big anoying, cause I am doing much TeX and everytime
I use italic like "{\it foo bar}" AUC-TeX switches to its italic
font and "foo bar" becomes something like a bit pattern -- unreadable.
I called a friend of mine using the same XEmacs but with different font
installation. The problem is the same for him.
I am using XEmacs 21.4.5 (Civil Service) on Linux 2.4.13ac8 and XFree86 4.1.0.
Any help *very* appreciated!
Thank you very much in advance !
keep hacking on the right site of life ! :-)
Meino
PS: Please do NOT post this to the Xemacs-newsgroups, cause these newsgroups
seem to be scanned by spammers searching for email addresses a lot.
Thanl you!

Hi Adrian !
Sorry for my previous "not formatted" posting!
I was using the newest net-utils...but the problem is my mailer
(mew) which does not ccoperate with "report-emacs-bug".
I started "xemacs -vanilla", using "report-xemacs-bug then
and pasted the result back into mew.
Hopefully this will be ok....
Here is my mail:
To: xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org
Subject: Fontproblems
--text follows this line--
This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team,
not to your local site managers!!
Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
Please describe as succinctly as possible:
- What happened.
- What you thought should have happened.
- Precisely what you were doing at the time.
Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have.
================================================================
Dear Bug Team!
What happened:
I used "customize-face (all)" to set the simple "italic" font to
someting more readable as the default. Regardless what I used as
"arguments" to the customize dialog -- the font does not change at
all.
I restarted X and Xemacs -- no change.
I tried the same changes to the "Modeline" font and it changed
accordingly to the "arguments" I gave to that customize dialog.
Even setting it to italic with a greater font size works.
What I thought should have happened:
Every change I could do to the "Modeline" font should work
also with the "Italic" font. I do much TeX and everytime
I use a for example {\it foo bar} in AUC-TeX "foo bar" is
rendered unreadable, cause AUC-TeX displays this font using
the "Italic" font.
What I was doing:
Starting XEmacs, loading a TeX-file, trying to read the italic
font used by AUC-TeX (no success), tried to change especially
the font size of that font by customize-face (all)...no change
seems to impress "customize". Frustration... ;-)
Same changes to the "Modeline" font works...
I am using XFree86 4.1.0 on an Athlon 600MHz, 128MB Ram.

HI,
the workaround does not work for me.
Regardless, what I am setting with "set-face-font",
XEmacs insists of using the unreadable
"-*-courier-medium-i-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*"-font
I checked the existence of alternate fonts with xfontsel and gimp and
copied the appropiate string via cute'n'paste to the minibuffer (so no typos)
--- nothing changes....
Any further help available?
Thank you very much in advance !

I did the following:
I used customize-face (all = yes) to seacrh for the
face used by AUC-TeX for its italic-face display.
I gave the faces in question a blue background and typed
some characters in AUC-TeX to proof whether I found the
one. After some tests, it was clear, that AUC-TeX uses
the "italic" face to display the characters.
Changing the font for the "italic" face via customize failed
(the begin of the story).
You gave me the hint, to use set-face-font directly to
set the font for the italic face.
I started 'xlsfont -f xlsfonts -fn
"-*-*-*-i-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"'
to giove me a list of fonts of the disired slant and size.
I tried xfontsel and gimp to acces those fonts to be sure,
that they are useable...they were.
I typed
M-x set-face-font <RETURN> italic <RETURN>
-adobe-courier-bold-i-normal--14-135-75-75-m-0-iso8859-1"" <RETURN>
after switching to tex-mode (which activates AUC-TeX).
That does not work for me...no change was visisble.
I tried
M-x set-face-font <RETURN> italic <RETURN>
-adobe-courier-bold-i-normal--14-135-75-75-m-0-iso8859-1 <RETURN>
instead.
No success, too. But XEmacs does not display any errors or something like that.
It seems that "list-fonts" is a little be tricky...and I am no Lisp expert.
As I understand, list-fonts returns a list of font names.
I exxecuted the command
(list-fonts "-*-*-*-i-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*")
and it prints me dozens of fonts into the minibuffer...and after a second or two
the list vanishes....
I have no clue how to copy the output into a mail (which
means more exactly:...how to turn a lisp list into a "real
string" )...would you give me a hint, please :-)
Same goes for
(list-fonts "-adobe-courier-bold-i-normal--14-135-75-75-m-0-iso8859-1" )....
Thank you!

You can be helped. Use
View->Show Message Log
to find messages past.
Execute
C-u (universal-argument)
C-x C-e (eval-last-sexp)
that's the sequence
C-u C-x C-e RET
(as M-x view-lossage RET reports it) after the list-fonts form in a
mail or *scratch* buffer.
Here is what I get on W2K (the result seems a bit funny but that may
be a native XEmacs on MS Windows problem):
(list-fonts "Courier New:Italic:10::Western")
("Courier New::::Western" "Courier New::::Western" "Courier
New::::Western" "Courier New::::Western")
Use one of the font strings you get, without the quotes, with set-face-font.
Hope this helps,
Adrian

set-face-font should not have a problem setting this, but it is true
that Custom probably would not be able to in any event, because it
treats the 4 default faces (default, italic, bold, bold-italic)
specially. It would probably refuse to give you bold-italic for the
italic font.
after switching to tex-mode (which activates AUC-TeX).
Are you sure AUC-TeX uses the 'italic face? Just because the font you
see is italic doesn't mean the face is 'italic. The face could be
'tex-emph or something like that.
As other posters suggested, try an oblique face or the
try-oblique-before-italic-fonts variable. However, the latter will
not affect set-face-font which is a very low-level utility.
Thanks for following up!

Hi Stephen....
...making some light... ;-)
Thank you for your reply ! :o)
I did the following test to ensure, that I am using the correct face:
I changed the background color for "italic" and the chnages were also
present in AUC-TeX using italics. So I /think/ ( == dont know for sure )
it is the correct thing to change.
set-face-font seems to refuse to accept ANY change for the italic face,
regardless, whether I am using oblique fonts or something else. The problem
seems not to be the input (font-string), but something "inside" which
refuses to change...
I set the appropiate variable as described: Again no change.
I am not able to set the italic face to anything else than that what seems
to be "burned in" in XEmacs. Kinda CD-ROM, which get written while compiling
XEmacs.
I am using XFree86 4.10 on an Athlon based PC with linux 2.4.13ac8. I am using
IceWM, no session manager or management.

Yes, this has been reported before; I am able to reproduce.
Something seems screwy in the instantiation of the face fonts here.
I'm really not sure what.
It seems that you need to
(reset-face 'italic)
before setting the italic font.
If you put

(if (emacs-version>= 21 4 6)
(message "After upgrading, try removing the face hack from init.el!"))
(reset-face 'italic)
(set-face-font 'italic your-preferred-font-spec-goes-here 'global)
in your init file, you'll probably get the result you want. Whether
you will be able to use Custom on that face afterward I'm not sure.
You should be able to use -*-iso8859-15 fonts by doing this.

Hi Stephen, hi "Rest of the crew" ;-)
First of all: Thank you __very much__ for all your fast help!
Yes, the last hack did it for me. Interesting, that this "reset-font"
command -- as specified below -- "unlocks" a dozen other fonts, I
haven't even thought before.
I have inserted the command sequence into my ~/.xemacs/.init.el-file and
now I am very happy to be able to read my own writings -- even if I do
some \it in TeX.... ;-)
But I think also, this is a bug in XEmacs...
Thank you very much to you all ! :o)

Is there any "internal" or "hidden" function, which will list all

I meant the list of faces you have noticed as being customizable after
doing (reset-face ...), but not before.
As far as I know you would have to write a special function to list up
all of the fonts actually used. The current code presumes that
Customize has some idea of what reality is.

If it is known, that customize has (big?) problems with setting the
fonts, and it is further possible to set the fonts via "hand made
customization" in the init.el file with (for example):
(reset-face 'italic)
(set-face-font 'italic

Ooops! There was a misunderstanding, probably based on my
"""english""" ;-)
What I meant in the beginning was:
As I reset the italic font, a couple of other fonts changed also their
appearance on the screen. There was no change in the "written form" in
the customize-menus. I dont know, how identify those fonts?! Should I change the
background color of all fonts which can be found via "customize-faces (all)"?

Ah, I missed that, but it doesn't matter, the bug is real (and
previously reported).

Hi !
Afterglow:
The same problem seems to be with the 'bold face.
Setting this face does only work after a reset-font 'bold.
Seems to be a more spread problem there....

If possible, please install the latest net-utils package (1.23) and
then use
Help->Send Bug Report...
or
M-x report-emacs-bug
to give us more details about your XEmacs installation.
It is important to give xemacs a good font. A good font is complete
with bold and italic versions. For example, I use adobe courier
(and in this case I have to tell it to try-oblique-before-italic-fonts)
bash% xlsfonts -fn '-adobe-courier-*-*-*-*-*-160-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*'
-adobe-courier-bold-o-normal--22-160-100-100-m-0-iso8859-1
-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--22-160-100-100-m-0-iso8859-1
-adobe-courier-medium-o-normal--22-160-100-100-m-0-iso8859-1
-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--22-160-100-100-m-0-iso8859-1
Most likely you are using some partial font like misc-fixed that
does not come with an italic font. You can startup xemacs with -font.
