Hello all, When emacs is compiled the following way: export CVS_RSH=ssh cvs -z3 -d:ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co emacs cvs -z3 -d:ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs up -Pd -r XFT_JHD_BRANCH cd emacs ./configure —prefix=/your/fav/place —with-gtk —with-xft make bootstrap make make install /your/fav/place/bin/emacs –font “Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-10″ We appear to lose the boldface treatment when a *.tex file is loaded. I want to confirm that I'm not doing anything wrong here, before I file a bug. But even if I wanted to I would love to make sure whether this is a bug in emacs, gtk or X. Any inputs would be appreciated! --------------------------------- Yahoo! Shopping Find Great Deals on Holiday Gifts at Yahoo! Shopping
