Subject: No Font Dialog
Date: Tue, 16 Nov 2021 09:29:30 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <12044860.KDboQtbVQW@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

Hi!

struggeling with a high dpi screen on a new computer. Linux, 5.14., KDE, 
wayland (distro: opensuse, tumbleweed). 

I thought that increasing the font size of Emacs might help. 

If I click in the menu bar on Options/Set Default Font... , the usual font 
dialog doesn't appear, only a »Font Menu« with »Misc«, »Courier« and »Font 
Set«. 

Every time in a terminal I get the notice: 
»(emacs:9468): Gtk-WARNING **: 09:13:00.966: no trigger event for menu popup«. 

Doesn't work in a gnome session either. 

So it seems there is something wrong with my self compiled Emacs, or is it a 
bug? 

»(pgtk-backend-display-class)« gives: »"GdkWaylandDisplay"«.

Building emacs (branch feature/pgtk) or from here: 
https://github.com/flatwhatson/emacs

Result: 
»GNU Emacs 28.0.60 (build 2, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.30, cairo 
version 1.16.0)  of 2021-11-15«

Configure: 
»./configure --with-dbus --with-gif --with-jpeg --with-png --with-rsvg --with-
tiff --with-xft --with-xpm --with-modules --with-native-compilation --with-
json --with-imagemagick --with-libsystemd --with-pgtk --with-x-toolkit=gtk3«

I'm aware that this might be slightly wrong, but until recently it worked. 

Result of configure: 
»Configured for 'x86_64-pc-linux-gnu'.

So is this a bug or a mistake by my way of compiling emacs? 

By the way, I can start emacs with readable letter with 
»GDK_DPI_SCALE=1.7 emacs &«

And I installed the package default-text-scale from melpa, which also helps. 
So fortunately I can do my work. 

Kind Regards,

Alexander
