Date: Tue, 1 Feb 2011 21:39:23 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <F32FD614-EE87-46D4-8BFF-D8911156EE53@Freenet.DE> (raw)
Hello!
In Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard, without Snow) I have two X servers, which
identify themselves as "XQuartz 2.6.0 (xorg-server 1.9.3)". One comes
from the MacPorts project and is compiled and installed on my
PowerBook G4 (PPC 7447A CPU). The other is compiled, maybe, at Apple,
based on, presumingly, the same sources and distributed as a package
to install with the usual Mac OS X installer as a replacement for the
original very old X11, built by folks who also work in the MacPorts
project, who are most likely Apple employees. It's advertised here (http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/X112.6.0
) as:
* the main highlight are the transition to libxcb as a backend for
libX11
* freetype 2.4.4 to address some font rendering issues in 2.5.2
* pixman 0.20.0 should have some better fast paths with SSE2
* fontconfig 2.8.0
* cairo 1.10.0
* libX11 1.4.0
* xorg-server 1.9.3 which includes RandR and a ton of stability fixes
The MacPorts variant does not inherit my login environment, so AUCTeX
cannot find tex. The ready-made X server does inherit and pass it to
its clients – but GNU Emacsen come up in the usual geometry size
(96x56+25+125, 100x55+696+145), the fonts in GTK-2 based menubar and
their menus are OK, the font in the title is OK, only the font in the
windows and the modelines are very, very small, maybe 1 pt. I can C-x
u = on some character and copy the whole *Help* buffer's quite
invisible contents and paste it into the NS variant's *scratch*
buffer. It shows as font used to display the checked character the line:
xft:-B&H-LucidaTypewriter-normal-normal-normal-Sans-10-*-*-*-m-60-
iso10646-1
which is the same as in the MacPorts variant. When I change the X
resource
Xft.dpi: 96
to, say 960, hoping that would increase the font size to readable, it
only works in the GTK-2 based widgets: giant text in menubar and
menus! (And as well in GKrellM.) Screenshots available.
This happened with Xaw3d and GTK-2 X clients (since some days the
Xaw3d clients do not launch, only the GTK-2 ones) of many different
GNU Emacs stable and development versions. Can this happen due to a
bug in GNU Emacs?
