[Bug 68461] Re: Wishlist: Xft/Freetype support
Current version in Hardy (1:20080228-1) has XFT support. It has a bug with the way that it handles XFT fonts at present, see bug 197366 for more information, but this particular bug is now fixed. ** Changed in: emacs-snapshot (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Fix Released -- Wishlist: Xft/Freetype support https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/68461 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Reinhard, you need to enable a few build flags to enable the XFT/Freetype code.

Is there any progress on this? This is something that I've kind of been waiting for for a while now, too. After all, there is only *one* font that looks good in the stock Emacs, and it's not even possible to use that font in the rest of the system without making some configuration changes (Fixed, a.k.a. the xterm font). In any event, just curious to see what the progress is on this; it would make me very happy to see, indeed. -- Wishlist: Xft/Freetype support https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/68461 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 68461] Re: Wishlist: Xft/Freetype support
The reason that emacs-snapshot does not have Xft support yet is because we are waiting for the unicode-2 branch to be merged into mainline Emacs. I see reports of breakage concerning unicode-2 about once a week on the Emacs development list due to it not being in mainline yet -- this is way too much of a risk for the emacs-snapshot package to include it. One possible solution would be to make a separate emacs- snapshot-some_name package that has the unicode-2 branch, but I have yet to think of a good choice for some_name. It is hard to predict how soon unicode-2 will be merged ... but given that multi-tty support is not even in yet, it might perhaps be worthwhile for us to make a separate package. -- Wishlist: Xft/Freetype support https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/68461 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Yes we know, and it kind of sucks. This bug report is a plea for someone to fix it. Emacs is the only tool on the system that looks like garbage. It would take approximately five minutes to fix. Therefore it will be roughly six years before it actually happens... :-) Exactly. It's kind of sad that this bug report/wishlist is taking this long to fix. It's been around for 21 and a half months. It's not a hugely complicated fix.

(I assume that's what the reporter means when he says antialiasing.) I'm pretty sure that isn't the case, but I thought I'd double-check before replying. Nope, it's not true; the Xft code is not and has never been in mainline. Some third-party 'emacs-snapshot' packages taken from the XFT_JHD_BRANCH and later from the emacs-unicode-2 branch have appeared here and there, but Ubuntu's official emacs-snapshot package has (to the best of my knowledge) always been identical to mine and thus never supported Xft. ** Changed in: emacs-snapshot (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released = Confirmed -- Wishlist: Xft/Freetype support https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/68461 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This may be a stupid question but... Why? I mean, the only reason I tried installing an obscure package called emacs-snapshot was to see if the font rendering had progressed beyond 1995. What other purpose could emacs-snapshot possibly have? :-) More seriously, with a name ending in -snapshot, what difference does it make whether it is built from the trunk or from a branch? Anybody who installs such a package is trying to trade stability for features anyway, right? Otherwise, they can just use the emacs package. If this is the choir, to whom should I be preaching? (Sorry if I am being obnoxious, but I upgraded to Feisty and now my Emacs looks like crap again.

A kind Ubuntu hacker in India has made Xft versions of emacs-snapshot packages available via apt: http://g33k.wordpress.com/2006/11/06/gnu-emacs-with-xft-goodness/ The difference in fonts is like night and day. I agree with Hans. You can label this importance wishlist... But seriously, every time I start Emacs I have to double-check the calendar to remind myself what year it is.
