bug#893: incorrect font chosen

[Dan Nicolaescu]

Emacs still uses the wrong font in some cases.

First do:

xrdb /dev/null

Then:

emacs -Q -xrm 'emacs.Font: -b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-12-120-75-75-m-70-iso10646-1'

uses the lucidatypewriter font for the default face, but doing:

emacs -Q -xrm 'Emacs.Font: -b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-12-120-75-75-m-70-iso10646-1'

uses:
    x:-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-1 (#x20)

This used to work fine before the unicode-2 merge.

I can't reproduce this problem either.  Do you still see it?  If so, any
luck debugging?

It's still present with the latest CVS and an up to date Fedora 9 system.

Sorry, I don't have the time at the moment to do this.

I played around with this a little.  If I put

Emacs*font: -adobe-courier-medium-r-*-*-12-120-75-75-*-*-*-*

in my .Xresources file, then

emacs -Q -xrm 'Emacs.Font: -b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-12-120-75-75-m-70-iso10646-1'
>>> -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-1

emacs -Q -xrm 'emacs.Font: -b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-12-120-75-75-m-70-iso10646-1'
>>> -b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-12-120-75-75-m-70-iso10646-1

This behavior is the same for both CVS Emacs and Emacs 22.

I think this behavior makes sense, because the "emacs" X attribute
setting should override the "Emacs" class setting, and the "font"
attribute setting overrides the "Font" class setting.  Maybe your Feb 27
build contained a bug that was subsequently fixed.
