Hi John,
Thanks for your reply. The funny thing is the emacs window resists all
kinds of resizing. "Maximizing" simply shifts the tiny window to the
top left corner without actual resizing.
As for win98 support, I read both in the official docs and the
emacsw32 page saying that it is supported.
Officially, the developers try to maintain support for Windows 9x, but
we do so blindly, only finding out about problems if users tell us.
Your problem may be caused by the new font backend code. I suspect that
uniscribe may be available on your Windows 98 installation but unusable
due to lack of full Unicode support in Windows 98. If this is the
problem, then it may help to start Emacs from the command-line as:
emacs -Q -xrm Emacs.fontBackend:gdi
If this works, then you can workaround the problem by modifying the
shortcut that starts emacs to add the "-xrm Emacs.fontBackend:gdi"
arguments to it.
