> Please find below a patch to improve the poor scrolling performance when using bitmap fonts. #14721 (http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=14721) and and 14307 (http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=14307) may also be affected. The patch has been tested against emacs 24.3. It applied cleanly to git head (22687e54e0e4d7c73c098417478574a55393fe2c) but I haven't built it.

Thanks, but can you please provide a reproducible test case, including
the font where the slow scrolling happens?  I don't see any fonts
named in these bug reports.

Are there other possibilities to fix this, without using
GetCharABCWidthsFloatW?  The problem with that function is that it is
not available on Windows 9X (in the unicows.dll library), so this
problem will be left unsolved on those systems.
