If you can't find any font with "*", why would you expect a match with
"*-iso8859-1"? This is quite unintuitive.
Not "*", rather "*really broken-registry and charset", after someone
had
done:
(set-charset-registries 'ascii ["really broken-registry and charset"])
After integrating your patches, I get a crash in temacs in a tree
almost identical to CVS HEAD, in an Xft build on Mac OS X with the
X.org server and libraries, in face initialization. Have you done an
Xft build with this stuff yet?
Yes. Please post a bug report; I can’t reproduce--currently on Cygwin,
previously on NetBSD.
I dunno, Aidan. It's not your fault that X goes belly-up
whenever you
hand it something it doesn't expect, but it is a fact that it does. I
don't really see any good reason to suppose that there aren't several
more crashes lurking, because you've completely changed the model. Up
to now, we assumed that we could choose from the whole list of fonts.
That wasn’t always the case; cf. the comment on x-init-device-faces in
x-faces.el.
Now we have to get the query right. But querying X servers has
always
been less than reliable.
Would you prefer a fallback to fixed for ASCII instead? XFree86 servers at
least give this error if it’s not available:
Fatal server error:
could not open default font ’fixed’
