Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list, and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group. In GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.2.3790) of 2004-03-10 on NYAUMO configured using `configure --with-gcc (3.2)' Important settings: value of $LC_ALL: nil value of $LC_COLLATE: nil value of $LC_CTYPE: nil value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil value of $LC_MONETARY: nil value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil value of $LC_TIME: nil value of $LANG: ENU locale-coding-system: iso-latin-1 default-enable-multibyte-characters: t Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: Emacs no longer uses the 'ClearType' font anti-aliasing on Windows NT (5.2.3790). The 'Standard' ant-ialiasing is still used but that fails to work on sizes below 14pt (this is not an Emacs problem), and doesn't work as well. This makes small outlined fonts ugly with Emacs, especially on laptops. ClearType used to work fine with the last Emacs version I had (20.7). Also, Emacs has gotten very strict about the kind of fonts it will accept. I have fonts derived from various conversion tools (bdf2ttf, etc). that no longer work with 21.3. Thanks, Tanveer Gani.
