I hope I didn't breake anything in CVS :-). The font selection is incomplete, so you have to specify a font on the command line, like so: % emacs -fn monospace-12 (or any other font you prefer). Since the font selection is incomplete, the font choosen when no font is given is helvetica (a proportional font). I'm sure there are drawing errors (I've sen some myself) and other errors. Feel free to drop a me a mail about bugs you see, but I don't expect to spend any time on this until the current release is out of the door. Jan D.
