I searched for backports but Emacs 22 isn't available there for Debian it seems. But can you throw some light on how to check if my termcap supports 256 colors or not and how to make it support it? > > And Jed is able to support bright colors even on console? > > Emacs supports bright colors as well, except that it uses them for > emphasis (bold text). If the terminfo entry says the console can do > bright and bold, Emacs uses that. Bright white looks good for normal text, atleast to me. BTW, what is the best feature of Emacs 22 that isn't there in Emacs 21? Regards, mowgli
