LibXft can be a problem =96 this is true in Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger): =20 libXft is obviously too old here. Recent GNU Emacs 23.0.60 is able to use more than one font backend: =20 X11, Freetype, Xft: !Emacs.FontBackend: x !Emacs.FontBackend: xft !Emacs.FontBackend: ftx Since some days you can combine backends: Emacs.FontBackend: x,xft There can also be another source of problems: libfontconfig. It has =20 to be modern, too, to allow to select fonts by certain properties. -- Greetings Pete I hope to die before I *have* to use Microsoft Word. - Donald E. Knuth, 2001-10-02 in T=FCbingen.
