Carbon Emacs 22 font problems

Carbon Emacs 22 font problems

[Ben Willmore]

Hi,

I've been using builds of carbon Emacs 22 for Mac OS X.  Somewhere in
the recent past (6 months ago?) these builds stopped recognising any
of my fonts.  For example, my .emacs says:

(create-fontset-from-fontset-spec
"-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--10-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-monaco10,
ascii:-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--10-100-75-75-m-100-mac-roman,
latin-iso8859-15:-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--10-100-75-75-m-100-mac-roman,
latin-iso8859-1:-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--10-100-75-75-m-100-mac-roman"
)

This used to work fine.  Now I get the error:

error: No fonts match
`-Apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--10-100-75-75-m-100-mac-roman`

And if I do:

M-x set-frame-font TAB TAB

there are no completions.

Anyone know how I can get my fonts back?

Ben

I see these:

	-apple-monaco-medium-i-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso10646-1
	-apple-monaco-medium-i-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-mac-roman
	-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso10646-1
	-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-mac-roman
	-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--10-100-72-72-m-100-mac-roman
	-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--12-120-72-72-m-120-mac-roman
	-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--14-140-72-72-m-140-mac-roman
	-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--9-90-72-72-m-90-mac-roman

Does the situation change when you invoke Carbon Emacs like

	/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -Q &

This launches Carbon Emacs without any local mis-configuration. If  
you have success with this clean Carbon Emacs you should check with

	/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -q &

whether the fault is in your personal .emacs file.

Which fonts is FontBook showing as active?

Thanks for your input, Peter.  Thanks to this I've identified the
problem: the fonts seem to have changed from 75dpi to 72dpi, i.e.

apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--10-100-75-75-m-100-mac-roman
is now
apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--10-100-72-72-m-100-mac-roman

I've changed those parts to * so my problem is solved.

And I was using set-frame-font incorrectly (wasn't pressing enter
after 'font'), which is why I was failing to see any fonts at all.

Thanks again!

Ben
