Message-ID: <E1G5DIS-0001TR-VI@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <ea2tsj$sei$1@sea.gmane.org> (message from Kevin Rodgers on Mon, 24 Jul 2006 10:51:57 -0600)
The error message is "No matching font", but it is reported because
font-info returned nil, so "No info about FONTNAME" would be more
accurate. But how can font-info return nil for the default font of
the selected frame? Emacs is already displaying text in that font!
It looks like a bug to me. But note that neither describe-font nor
font-info is documented properly. It is not clear to me what
sort of argument is really supposed to be meaningful for font-info.
Perhaps this was not clear to the person who wrote describe-font.
I asked Handa to help here.
