Makefile mode font-lock inefficiency

2005-08-28 Thread David Abrahams
Recent builds of emacs seem to almost "hang" whenever I visit a makefile. Take, for example, lisp/makefile.in in this project. I have to kill font lock with C-g and change to text mode in order to look at it. I traced the problem down to the fact that I set font-lock-support-mode in my .emacs

Who can explain the display architecture?

When ClearType (http://www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartype/tuner/Step1.aspx) is enabled on an NT build of Emacs, it's very common for emacs to "slice off" a few antialiased pixels on either side of a character's vertical member. It happens especially in lines that are being typed. You can see
