Subject: bug#18686: 25.0.50; incorrect signature in doc string of `create-fontset-from-fontset-spec'
Date: Sat, 11 Oct 2014 00:00:31 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9fa26c73-6059-458a-bc75-b9727d90b8a3@default> (raw)
(elisp) `Fontsets' makes it clear that the first arg, FONTSET-SPEC, has
a required part and possibly repeated optional parts:
This function defines a new fontset according to the specification
string FONTSET-SPEC. The string should have this format:
FONTPATTERN, [CHARSET:FONT]...
The doc string has something completely different, in which perhaps at
least one of the CHARSET:FONT parts is required (?), not optional:
FONTSET-SPEC is a string of the format:
FONTSET-NAME,SCRIPT-NAME0:FONT-NAME0,SCRIPT-NAME1:FONT-NAME1, ...
Well, yes, there is `...' at the end, but it is not clear what its scope
is. Please use unambiguous notation similar to what the manual uses.
And the parts of FONTSET-SPEC are not at all specified. (They are
described in the manual, however.)
