w3 problem: font-find-available-family: Wrong number of arguments.

w3 problem: font-find-available-family: Wrong number of arguments.

[Mario S. Mommer]

Hi all,

I was trying to get w3 to work under emacs 21.2.1, with little
success; I did unpack the last version (4.0pre.46) and did

./configure --with-emacs --with-gnus

and then

make
make install
make dotemacs

When I open an url with M-x w3-fetch, it says it is downloading but
does not show anything. It stops with an error, which says

font-find-available-family: Wrong number of arguments: #[(name)
"[control caracters snipped]" [name x-list-fonts] 2], 2

If gnus is running it (gnus) becomes unusable, since it stops reacting
to keys.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

        Mario.

I think the latest is pre47, not pre46?  There was a bugfix in pre47
for Emacs 21...

Strange. M-x w3-version says WWW 4.0pre.46, URL 4.0pre46, MM 1.96,
while the directory in the tar.gz is w3-4.0pre.47. I downloaded it from

ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/emacs-w3/w3.tar.gz

as linked in

http://www.cs.indiana.edu/elisp/w3/docs.html

Isn't that the canonical source?

Mario.

Hm.  I got it via CVS from subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/w3.
Go to http://savannah.gnu.org/ and search for the project and the see
the CVS instructions.

I guess there's also a tarball there.

But maybe the tarball you fetched is the right one.  Hm.

I did it, but it does not work. I got the impression that it is mainly
mantained for xemacs, not for emacs. Is that a plausible reason?

That's simply because of a problem.
