On that front, the last I tried it still didn't support changing the display font, and the font specified on the command line was only used for latin1; everything else fell back to Sans-12. It also had problems keeping each buffer's text within said buffer's borders. Ian> I hope it is still possible to use bitmapped fonts bypassing xft. Ian> I like my Emacs font the way it is. Fontconfig (and therefore both Xft and cairo) supports any font freetype supports, including bdf, pcf{,.gz} and other bitmap formats. So, even when using client-side fonts you'll be able to use the bitmap fonts you currently do. In addition, it is highly unlikely that Emacs itself will abandon support for server-side fonts. Cross-platform support is just too inherent in its design principles. -JimC -- James H. Cloos, Jr.
