The name `mule-fonts' also suggest that it has something to do with Mule, and not with the type of the initialized devices (doing so looks like a design bug to me). Hm, every package has to start with thousands of `fboundp's...? Surely not. Packages assume that the supported Emacs flavors/versions support a basic set of objects. The XEmacs Mule docs were very Spartanic some years ago, so I relied of what I was told / read of how to add fonts to a given face on a XEmacs with Mule support. You can google them ("mule-fonts" xemacs) and find a lot, e.g. http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-mule/199808/msg00002.html http://tsukuba.m17n.org/mule-archive/2001-1/msg00009.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-simplified-chinese/2000/debian-simplified-... None of these mails says something that the `mule-fonts' tag has something to do with the devices. BTW, Stephen, your name is mentioned in these messages, too. - Christoph
