I don't think the units need clarification, really -- I think all the width/height things when talking about faces would naturally be assumed to be pixels. But I have no idea what a negative `line-width' would mean, and that needs documentation. I've skimmed the C code that deals with `line-width', but it's still rather obscure to me. Could someone who knows what a negative `line-width' in :box means document this in the manual? -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no/
