Here's a screen shot: This looks very much like what I used to get with gtk-qt-engine, cf. http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.pretest.bugs/18115. Are you using this, since you're also using KDE? > Note: a vanilla version compiled without xft support has no > such problem: > > http://obsidianrook.com/data/emacs22.1-vanilla.jpg I cannot account for the difference you describe (the pictures don't show it, however; I assume the latter screen shot is mistaken). I guess you built from the unicode2 branch, since the --enable-font-backend and --with-xft options are not in the trunk. Maybe the interaction with gtk-qt-engine there (if that's the problem) is different from the trunk. Steve Berman
