I have discovered a workaround for this bug. First you need to edit fontconfig's config files to stop it from filtering out all the monospace bitmap fonts, for example by replacing /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf with the attached file and then running " sudo fc-cache -v -f" to rebuild its cache. Then the Fixed fonts appear in the dialog box but selecting them doesn't have any effect. However you can now run emacs with "emacs -fn 'fixed-*-semicondensed-*'.
This ought to all just work out of the box, though, like it does in emacs 22. ** Attachment added: "fontconfig conf file to stop it filtering out monospace bitmap fonts" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emacs23/+bug/666961/+attachment/1722815/+files/70-no-bitmaps.conf -- emacs "Change buffer font" dialog does not include "fixed" as an option https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/666961 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
