Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: emacs-snapshot-gtk
OK, I've got this brand new Edgy installed today - everything is looking
great; but starting Emacs ruins the whole thing.
The fonts sucks guys -- this is 2006 -- this is Edgy; and Emacs is a
great editor feature-wise but it looks like crap without fonts.
I do not know how to create .deb-packages or update `emacs-snapshot-gtk'
- but I've compiled Emacs from a CVS-branch and got the thing running.
It looks great!
This is what I did (after removing any previously installed Emacs):
sudo aptitude install libxt-dev libgtk2.0-dev texinfo build-essential
..
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/emacs co emacs
cd emacs
cvs up -Pd -r XFT_JHD_BRANCH
./configure --with-x-toolkit=gtk --with-xft=yes
make bootstrap && make
make install
..this installs the thing into /usr/local
however; trying to install things like `dictem' using `aptitude' will
not work correctly now of course.
I guess this is more of a request-for-feature than a bug. :)
