Recommend that newer Emacs be compiled with texinfo-5. (Please IIUC many people prefer the other option. Like all bikeshedding subjects, this is a very hot topic, so I think we're better off keeping away from this and let people use whatever they prefer. But, AFAIK, it takes special efforts to keep using Texinfo-4. And for example, the manuals of `emacs24' in Debian have been generated with Texinfo-5, so I think it's already the case that Texinfo-5 is what is used by default. > 2.

See output > of 'fc-list :family' at the end of the mail. As explained earlier, the use of "courier" is intended to match the `verbatim' environment style of LaTeX with a "teletype-style" font. > Screenshot: http://en.zimagez.com/zimage/info-mode-font-lock-keywordswithcourierface.php [ BTW: it's even better to include such images directly in your email. ] It looks OK to me, except for the fact that it seems to be using a courier font that is not anti-aliased (i.e. it's probably a bitmap font). Do you have another monospaced font with serifs on your system that you could recommend instead? > I want the Info buffer to be colorized, so that I have enough visual > clues to skim it quickly. (2a) will ensure colorization. I find such coloring jarring, but it's probably just me. So if you can find a coloring that is agreeable to other people, I can live with it. > 3. Info-quoted should be lower-cased, I think Thanks. Indeed, not sure what I used a capital in the first place. Stefan
