Oh what the world is coming to. Whatever next, animated fonts?

I hear you, and agree with you. But as a dev= eloper of a chat application (like Slack, but free) which also has an Emacs= client, colour fonts in Emacs would be appreciated.

What I'm trying to say is that the state of fonts is what it is, and= Emacs should support it for those who wants it.

T= hat said, since I have yet to actually contributed to Emacs core, take this= post for what it is, just a data point from someone who would see immediat= e benefit from it.
