Here's the info I have: version: christopher.gray@mail.mcgill.ca--archive-ubc/emacs--xft--0 archive-location: http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~cmg/{archive} The home page at http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~cmg/ also seems to work. -Miles [*] Indeed, for me it barely worked at all, even with lots of fiddling. However from the author's screenshot I gather he had better luck, so I guess it probably depends on what fonts you have installed, etc. -- `...the Soviet Union was sliding in to an economic collapse so comprehensive that in the end its factories produced not goods but bads: finished products less valuable than the raw materials they were made from.'
