23.0.60; Umlaut chars with 'face property set to 'bold aren't displayed in bold with --disable-font-backend

[Tassilo Horn]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

I use a very recent CVS checkout compiled with --disable-font-backend.
In my .Xdefaults I have

    Emacs.Font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-*-*-15-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1

With emacs -Q eval this code in *scratch*

     (insert (propertize "testÜÄÖüäößtest" 'font-lock-face 'bold))

The umlauts between the "test"s won't be displayed in bold, although the
misc-fixed font contains bold versions of all those chars.  I verified
this using xterm with

    xterm -fn "-misc-fixed-medium-r-*-*-15-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1"

and created a directory "ÜÄÖüäö".  ls --color=true prints directories in
blue and bold by default and that works with that font.

Before the unicode-2 merge I used this font, too, and I'm absolutely
sure that I didn't have this problem at that time.

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/share/emacs/23.0.60/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

Can you reproduce this without compiling with --disable-font-backend, or 
in Emacs 22?

When compiling without --disable-font-backend all chars are bold.

    When compiling without --disable-font-backend all chars are bold.

Emacs: to boldly display what no text editor has displayed before.

Some short addition: When compiled without --disable-font-backend

  (insert (propertize "testÜÄÖüäößtest" 'font-lock-face 'bold))

makes all chars bold when using

  Emacs.FontBackend: x
  Emacs.Font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-*-*-15-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1

in my ~/.Xdefaults, which is different from what you get with
--disable-font-backend. 

But for example in latex-mode when editing LaTeX files the text in

  \section{foo bar baz föö bär bäz}

is displayed in a bigger font (font-latex-sectioning-X-face), but again,
the umlauts are not.  The same applies to emacs compiled with
--disable-font-backend.

describe-face lists the correct faces, but what's actually displayed is
the default face with only the foreground color of the sectioning face.

bug#169: 23.0.60; Umlaut chars with 'face property set to 'bold aren't displayed in bold with --disable-font-backend

[Glenn Morris]

I'm closing this because the `--disable-font-backend' option to
configure was removed some time ago.
