Font names in emacs-unicode-2 not recognized any more

Font names in emacs-unicode-2 not recognized any more

[Herbert Euler]

Hello,

After updating the source code of the emacs-unicode-2 branch, I get an
error with my previously working configuration file.  I have the
following in my configuration file (~/.emacs):

(set-default-font "FreeMono-17")

But the new Emacs signals an error:

$ emacs --debug-init

error--> (some text has been deleted)

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Font `FreeMono-17' is not defined")
  modify-frame-parameters(# ((font . "FreeMono-17")))
  set-default-font("FreeMono-17")
  (cond ((eq window-system ...) (setq printer-name ... ...)))
  ... ...
  command-line()
  normal-top-level()

Where "FreeMono-17" was previously recognized.  Are there any
incompatible changes happened such that I am having to update my
configuration files?  Thanks.

Regards,
Guanpeng Xu

Some macros in configure.in were changed, so it seems that probably some
font-related configuration setting is not properly being done anymore.

Looking at it, it seems that probably these lines (which I added, so I
probably did wrong) in "configure.in":

   OPTION_DEFAULT_OFF([freetype],[use -lfreetype for local fonts support])
   OPTION_DEFAULT_OFF([xft],[use -lXft for anti aliased fonts])

Should probably be "default on" instead, e.g.:

   OPTION_DEFAULT_ON([freetype],[don't use freetype for local font support])
   OPTION_DEFAULT_ON([xft],[don't use xft for anti aliased fonts])

Can you try making that change, and see it works for you?

[Remember to re-generate the configure script first using autoconf
(i.e., just type "autoconf"); the Makefile should take care of
re-running the configure script I think.]

Thanks,

-Miles

That fixed it for me, thanks.

Cool, thanks for testing.  I've made that change to the unicode branch.

It works for me, thank you! :D

Btw, I'm sorry I did not provide the configure options I used, which
contains --with-xft.  However, I did not notice that there is the
option --with-freetype, building without that option resulted in such
an error.

I can't reproduce it.  Do you enable font-backend?

It was due to a mistake I made in configure.in, but I've already fixed it.
