Subject: bug#24597: 25.1; Fonts used by default in Info
Date: Mon, 3 Oct 2016 08:48:51 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <a04f667d-7146-4f95-b0db-8cd20d5d91b9@default> (raw)

The fonts used (on MS Windows, at least) by default, for Info, are
these:

* For text in general:

  uniscribe:-outline-Courier
  New-normal-normal-normal-mono-17-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1 (#x52)

* For text enclosed in ‘...’:

   gdi:-outline-Courier-normal-normal-normal-mono-17-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1
   (#x65)

The latter comes from the default value of face `Info-quoted', which
specifies only the family (as courier).

Why use, by default, two **slightly** different looking fonts?  They are
not different enough to make ‘...’ very noticeable.  Nor are they the
same.  What's the point of this choice?


In GNU Emacs 25.1.1 (x86_64-w64-mingw32)
 of 2016-09-17 built on LAPHROAIG
Windowing system distributor 'Microsoft Corp.', version 6.1.7601
Configured using:
 'configure --without-dbus --without-compress-install CFLAGS=-static'
