Subject: bug#1802: 23.0.60; (with-ns) completion of font names does not work
Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2009 14:13:28 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <38B33658-E872-4823-9C58-A654F5580B38@gmail.com> (raw)

Observed Behavior
=================

1. M-x set-frame-font

    Prompts for a font name, but offers no completions.
    (Is the user meant to guess?)

2. M-x set-face-font

    Prompts for a font name, but offers only the following three values
    as possible completions:

       -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-default
       -apple-Monaco-medium-normal-normal-Regular-*-*-*-*-*-*-fontset- 
startup
       -ns-*-*-*-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-standard

Expected Behavior
=================

I would expect a complete list of the fonts current installed on the
system to be offered for completion.  This is the behavior on Windows
and Linux as well as (Carbon)Emacs 22.

Note
====

It's not that font selection is completely broken. e.g. Choosing a
font from the font panel presented after selecting "Options >> Set
Defalt Font..." does work after a fashion: it sets the default font
for all windows of the currently focused frame. (Not, however, those
of other frames.)

Also, the following elisp code, will work:

   (set-face-attribute 'default nil
                       :background "#ffffff"
                       :foundry "apple"
                       :family "consolas"
                       :foreground "#000000"
                       :height 120
                       :slant 'normal
                       :weight 'normal
                       :width 'semi-condensed))
