Re: [PATCH] (Draft2) Make X11 server-side fonts and Mule suck less.

*X* Font Sets? eeeeeeeeewwwwwww! Tell me it ain't so!
My first inclination was to throw out the old way entirely, since it
involves much use of our under-performing regex engine at redisplay,
And you think much round-tripping to the server is a better idea in
the midst of redisplay? ;-) Neither is acceptable. If regex is
actually being called from redisplay, we should fix that.
[CCL #defines] makes code in redisplay-x.c more readable (less
#ifdef MULE happening) without impacting its performance.
Ah, right, this is all internal anyway.

Yes; it moves the last parameter to being an enum with descriptive possible
values, rather than just an integer.
Well, yes, but is it such a good idea that we should make work for
others? That's one of my pet peeves with GNU.

I want the whole thing in! :-) .
Yeah, well, you're likely to get more of it faster if it comes in
bite-size pieces most of which have no question-able (note the
hyphen!) hunks.
