Hello!

I filed a bug report that Apple's libXft in Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)  
makes GNU Emacs 23.0.60 crash when compiled with font-backend enabled  
and in use when launching. Now I am trying to deliver more detailed  
information to Apple, but configure somehow fails to create useful  
Makefiles.

One problem libfreetype from Apple in X11 has, that it does not  
understand FC_WIDTH and FC_WEIGHT_REGULAR which are not defined in  
their set of C header files. So I need to use libfreetype 2.19 from a  
"parallel" installation with Fink. Somehow I can't configure for a  
GNU Emacs that uses most of the X libraries from Apple's X11 and uses  
libfreetype and libfontconfig2 from Fink:

I'm not using libotf, libXaw3d, or GTK2 because all installed via  
Fink, so non-Apple. When these are used, then libfontconfig2 and  
libfreetype come from Fink. At daylight I'll try to see what happens  
when I remove GIF, JPEG, PNG, and TIFF support, and whether all is  
right when I simply add libotf support ...

I can now confirm that it's neither libotf nor libXaw3d or GTK2, it's  
just that I need to add '-L/sw/lib/fontconfig2/lib -L/sw/lib/ 
freetype219/lib' to LDFLAGS. This setting takes precedence to  
whatever pkg-config retrieves ...

Does it mean that you can use Emacs with xft font-backend
now?

No. Since many weeks, maybe months, I have the X resource

	Emacs.FontBackend:      x

set or I launch GNU Emacs with --disable-font-backend. So I can  
configure with '--enable-font-backend --with-xft.' When I make

	Emacs.FontBackend:      xft

active GNU Emacs 23.0.60 crashes after a few seconds with

	Fatal error (11)Segmentation fault
	Exit 139

when I launch it without --disable-font-backend. So libXft still  
cannot be used for font rendering (though it works in Apple's xterm).  
I could use it last summer (or autumn ?) last time, but the results  
were not recognised as an improvement and documentation is so sparse  
that I did not see a chance to make it look better, make it use my  
preferred font.

Please try to configure Emacs with --enable-font-backend
and --without-xft, and set this resource:
Emacs.FontBackend: ftx

With this setting, Emacs uses Freetype directly.

I had to add  --with-freetype. Without GTK it gives a good image. C-u  
C-x = on a Tigrina character gave:

	Fatal error (10)Bus error
	Exit 138

I'll try anew with GTK and some debugging.
