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 P ------------------------ In GNU Emacs 23.0.60.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.9) of 2008-08-10 on ubuntu-tury Windowing system distributor `The X.Org Foundation', version 11.0.10400090 configured using `configure '--with-gif=no' '--with-tiff=no' '--with-xft=no'' Important settings: value of $LC_ALL: nil value of $LC_COLLATE: nil value of $LC_CTYPE: nil value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil value of $LC_MONETARY: nil value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil value of $LC_TIME: nil value of $LANG: hu_HU.UTF-8 value of $XMODIFIERS: nil locale-coding-system: utf-8-unix default-enable-multibyte-characters: t Major mode: Fundamental Minor modes in effect: savehist-mode: t which-function-mode: t show-paren-mode: t recentf-mode: t iswitchb-mode: t icomplete-mode: t display-time-mode: t desktop-save-mode: t tooltip-mode: t mouse-wheel-mode: t menu-bar-mode: t file-name-shadow-mode: t global-font-lock-mode: t global-auto-composition-mode: t auto-encryption-mode: t auto-compression-mode: t column-number-mode: t line-number-mode: t transient-mark-mode: t Recent input: C-x 0 C-x 1 C-b C-a C-f C-a Recent messages: Loading cc-mode...done hellow.java has auto save data; consider M-x recover-this-file Loading info...done uncompressing parted.info.gz...done uncompressing parted.info.gz...done uncompressing parted.info.gz...done Wrote /home/apa/.emacs.desktop.lock Desktop: 5 buffers restored.
