bug#688: Arithmetic error at 'About Emacs' when --with-xft=no

Hi,

I am new to Ubuntu and tried to install cvs-emacs first time a few
days ago this way:

$ ./configure --with-gif=no --with-tiff=no
$ make bootstrap

I tried Emacs from src/emacs (i.e. I didn't do make install). It
worked, but I found antialiasing ugly, so today I made this:

$ cvs update -dP
$ ./configure --with-gif=no --with-tiff=no --with-xft=no
$ make bootstrap

Now it seems I could get rid of antialiasing, but `about-emacs' fails:
I get "Arithmetic error" after the copyright line drawn: the
about-emacs buffer seems to be left half-drawn (it looks similarly as
if I would split the window previously). (See attached picture.) After
this error, window refreshment seems to be "stopped" (by the
Arithmetic error?) until I switch to another buffer; after switching
to another buffer, I have the "half-drown" about-emacs buffer too in
my buffer list: when I try to switch back to it, I get the arithmetic
error again (I took the affached picture after such a switch).

Please let me know if you can't reproduce the problem and need more info.

\bye
