I didn't even know 22 was supposed to > have nice fonts. I think you may have misread the article. For example: "I had heard that the new version of emacs (22) provided anti-aliased fonts, but apparently I was mistaken." "After making emacs from the cvs sources, it reports its version as 23.0.60.2." In other words, I ended up building Emacs 23 to get nice fonts. Of course, since that article, I've switched to Mac OSX as my primary dev environment, so I just installed Carbon Emacs and everything works fine :) I love Linux, but the time savings I get with OSX easily pays for the additional cost for Mac hardware and OSX, so my use of Linux is for servers only now. -- Brian Adkins http://www.lojic.com/ http://lojic.com/blog/
