Thanks -- Ill try this.
However my direction is the other way round. I want to make defaults
that 'just work' on more systems without tweaking. Because otherwise
the code is broken for most people.
In particular, I need a way of saying:
"Get any unicode font (and not a very localised font like sahadeva)"
After that people may tweak the font to their taste.
So I need to understand (probably?) the layer between emacs and the
system (xft?) where automatic font selection happens.
Or... (to explain the mechanics bit):
I have one personal setup (in /home)
There are two OSes which I can boot (Let me call them old and new)
Old works and uses emacs 23.3
New does not and uses 23.4
However much else is 'upgraded.' And broken -- xft? xfce? xserver?
some specific fonts?
Dont know how to search...
So I thought: Let me mount old OS in new and try running the mounted
emacs23.3.
This way I can check whether the emacs 23.3 -> 23.4 is broken or
something else.
However I get:
$ /mnt/p/usr/bin/emacs23
