Just to follow up on this, I managed successfully to compile the unicode-2 cvs branch with the gtk toolkit and xft support, obtained via: cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co \ -remacs-unicode-2 emacs The 2D problems noted above disappeared and, despite the red startup warning about this being alpha software, it has been rock solid despite some heavy use. (Nonetheless, being a cautious fellow, I *have* set up the backup options to keep a snapshot of my document with every save. :-) The version in which I encountered the problems noted was the XFT_JHD branch, obtained via: cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co emacs and cd emacs ; cvs up -Pd -r XFT_JHD_BRANCH Chris Menzel
