Sorry but 'font-show-log' seems do not exist! only font-lock...

C-u C-x = a  prints 'a' etc..


It seems that there is some problem with 'DejaVu Sans Mono-12' font and 
friends (BitStream Vera Sans Mono).

Usually I start Emacs:

$ emacs23 --font "DejaVu Sans Mono-12" &

and this gives the 'horrible' (i.e. the characters appear not smoothed) 
look.

Instead if I use "Monospace-12"

$ emacs23 --font "Monospace-12" &

the result is identical to that obtained until 24 hours ago with 
'DejaVu...', i.e. very fine.

I did the build:

${source_dir}/configure --prefix=${prefix_dir}
make bootstrap


Cheers,
    Angelo.


PS: May someone explain why when I attach PNG images the email bounces 
from emacs-devel? I did this some month ago and it worked.
