Font metric bogosities that cause greatly excessive redraw can definitely result in annoying flickering though, even on machines which are fast enough that you don't notice the actual redrawing. [This is the case on X11 anyway; unless the ms-windows port is doing double-buffering, I expect the same is true there.] -Miles -- Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
