Attempt currently happening… :-) See: <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/43578#8> > Re the subject: do you think #43578 can help users in getting > emacs-lucid starting from emacs? Do you have an example please? I do not know. However, I am not personally motivated by emacs-lucid. Maybe I miss something but if I read correctly, this toolkit is old and so I do not know how it is maintained. Is the new HarfBuzz included? Well, #41732 and #43578 change the Emacs VM when compiling Emacs packages and not the rendering toolkit. Other said, compiling Emacs packages with the package emacs or emacs-lucid is exactly the same. The difference between emacs and emacs-lucid is the rendering toolkit, not the VM.

Well, I am extensively using Emacs and I do not remember hitting this bug. Maybe I do not use Emacs enough. ;-) Cheers, simon
