Wonderful anti-aliased fonts, terminus, inconsolata, etc. Thanks a ton for the URL for the debs of snapshots. Regards. -- Please reply to this list only.

I am not sure what changed, only that I restarted the machine earlier today. Perhaps the aptitude installation did not go through all the steps at that time. -- Please reply to this list only.

The maintainer disagrees with the majority of Debian developers about the GFDL and consequently preferred to put the package in his own repository, rather than removing the manuals.

The development is actually not so slow, although there are could be more many active developers. But the Emacs 22 release process definitely took too long, it seems this will be faster for Emacs 23. The first pretest has already been released[3], so we have reason to hope for a release in 2009.

Fonts looks markedly better than in version 22. I did a bit of google search and it appears that these cvs packages have a bit of baggage with Debian legal ... interesting history. And what's up with this extremely slow pace (to me at least) of Emacs releases and development? Thanks a ton! Regards. -- Please reply to this list only.

Does not seem possible AFAIK. Your best bet would be to try Emacs 23 which has XFT support but is not released yet. Pre-compiled snapshots for Debian are available from http://emacs.orebokech.com.

emacs and terminus, proggy and ttf-inconsolata fonts
Hello, This is on Testing. In Emacs if I left-click the mouse button with the Shift key pressed, I get the Font Menu from which I can select some of the preset fonts (fixed, courier, etc.). I want to try terminus, proggy and ttf-inconsolata fonts. I can set terminus font by setting the Basic faces option in Emacs by specifying the family as Terminus. However, how I try ttf-inconsolata? It is not shown in xfontsel dialog box. Also, Debian does not appear to have proggy fonts, or am I missing something. Finally, if I choose to stick with terminus, how do I make Emacs show different sizes in the Font Menu (Shift+LeftClick)? Thanks. -- Please reply to this list only.
