I wasn't even aware that (for example) your emacs-snapshot was being built with --enable-font-backend and had just left my .Xresources Emacs.font: as it always has been - no issues and no observable difference from earlier versions of either emacs-snapshot or running emacs22. I am currently dealing with a very odd problem though. I have two machines, both running Debian. One one machine (this one) both emacs-snapshot and an emacs I've built myself from CVS are working fine. No issues. However, on the other machine I get weird errors about void function definitions, signal 11 segfaults, and other 'weirdness' in both the latest emacs-snapshot and emacs built from CVS. The only real difference between the two machines is that the one I'm having problems with has been running Debian since 2001, upgrading from (I think) potato/woody. The other machine was a fresh Debian install about 12 months ago. I suspect it could be some bit of 'kruft' left over from a dist upgrade. Frustrating because its my work machine and I've not got time to chase down the problme just now. Had to revert back to emacs22 until I get time to sort things out.
