After load-library and icy-mode Using command M-x icicle-font First it hangs for several minutes and then pops up a massive instance of emacs so big it prevents any usage at all. Finally dragging enough of the monster to the left and finding the X in right hand corner... but it doesn't affect this big useless brute. Finally closed with kill-all command. from OS. Appears to need a tab bit of work. I use a very large desktop. 2048 x 1536 Apparently icicles wants to operate in full screen mode. Is that necessary?
