unicode branch:_ error in ftfont.c under fedora 8

unicode branch:_ error in ftfont.c under fedora 8

[Eric Lilja]

Hi!
I'm normally a windows user but I just got fedora 8 working on my laptop 
and I needed to do some work on it using emacs. I use emacs under 
windows, solaris and fedora and have on monolithic .emacs file so I 
don't have to maintain different versions.
However, I noticed the font I used under fedora 7 didn't want to work 
under fedora 8 and none of the very few fonts availabe when I tried 
shift+left mouse button was satisfying.
I got the idea that I should try and build the emacs-23 branch to see if 
I could get emacs to use the font bitstream vera sans mono which I 
installed. I downloaded the sources with:
$ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@gnu.savannah.org:/sources/emacs co -r 
emacs-unicode-2 emacs
Configured with:
$ ./configure --with-gtk --enable-font-backend --with-xft
and then
$ make bootstrap

It stops with an error in ftfont.c:
ftfont.c: In function 'ftfont_open':
ftfont.c:738: error: 'struct ftfont_info' has no member 'maybe_otf'
ftfont.c:739: error: 'struct ftfont_info' has no member 'otf'

I'm writing this from windows so I hope I copied all the text correctly 
(I haven't setup my mail, news and gmane-reader under fedora yet).
Hope this information will be of some help.

- Eric

I've just installed a fix.

I am glad you are starting to explore GNU/Linux.
With luck you will be able to defenestrate (*) your computers soon.

    It stops with an error in ftfont.c:
    ftfont.c: In function 'ftfont_open':
    ftfont.c:738: error: 'struct ftfont_info' has no member 'maybe_otf'
    ftfont.c:739: error: 'struct ftfont_info' has no member 'otf'

It does not fail for me.  Since it fails for you, can you investigate why?
