No x-faces with emacs 22.0 on XPpro Was: Can't show up x-faces on WinXP installation

No x-faces with emacs 22.0 on XPpro Was: Can't show up x-faces on WinXP installation

[Rud1ger Sch1erz]

Well,

as I've got no responses in gnu.emacs.gnus, I'll try it at
gnu.emacs.help. By any chance there is a kind soul, who could assist
me to tackle down the problem. Seem's to be rather an
emacs-images-problem, than a gnus problem.

Could you please explain what are you looking for?  I have no idea
what you mean by ``x-face'' and how did you try to see it.

That is a very old version, btw.

x-face is a 1-bit black&white bitmap format, ascii coded, which came
with the X11 window system. You can find one (my) in the header of
this posting.

Gnus shows it in the article buffer between From: and the
sendername/-email. 

If there is a ``Face'' (colored bitmap) in the header of the email or
news, gnus uses this to show in the article buffer at the same place. 

My installation shows Face-images in the article buffer, but no
x-faces. As emacs/gnus uses external programs (uncompface and
icon2pbm), there might be the problem. But I cant locate it. The
programs are installed on my machine.

Well, that's the newest binary for MS windows, I've found. I've tried
to compile the current CVS version with Visual Studio 2005, but failed
due compiler errors. At the moment I don't have time to solve this, so
I'm glad, if you could point me to the newest binary package.

Cheers,

Please report these errors to emacs-devel@gnu.org, it's quite possible
that some of them are bugs.
