To do something to make the whole thing more usable, one can simply ensure that on each operating system the local standard font selection user interface is used. All systems offer some standard dialog to do that, and it would be a good idea if users can specify the lists with attributes in customization buffers as well, with the right widget.
I don't think we should be rigid about doing this--we need to consider the suitability of each such interface for Emacs. But in general I agree that is a good direction to go in. I don't know whether Xt offers any font-selection dialog. Does it? _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
