Now I can build current CVS-head also on K8.04. Thanks. I haven't any particular configuration, no Xdefault in my home etc... Both on K804 and K910 I have done GTK builds (./configure) To summarize these are the results. K804 ==== $ xrdb -query | grep Xft Xft.antialias: 1 Xft.dpi: 96 Xft.hinting: 1 Xft.hintstyle: hintfull Xft.rgba: noneWith 20091114 build, 'Options | Set Default Font' shows Monospace, Regular, 10: the same I see with Konsole.
With current 20091117, 'Options | Set Default Font' shows Sans, Regular, 12: very bad!
If with that option I set Monospace, Regular, 10, the result is *different* from what I see in Konsole or my previous build. And after this, recalling 'Options | Set Default Font' shows always Sans, Regular, 12, i.e. it does not reflect the new choice.
K910 ==== Similar results. Only $ xrdb -query | grep Xft is empty.It seems that these new features added to Emacs, after 20091114, make its look a little bad.
Can I build disabling those? Ciao, Angelo. Jan Djärv ha scritto:

I have attached the screen shots regarding a previous build (on 20091114, without xsettings, I think), called 'good', and the current, called 'bad': my opinion is that this has characters too light.It doesn't really say anything unless you compare it with some other application with the same font.Obviously, I have compared on the same system: Kubuntu-9.10, i.e. with same font! only the source of Emacs changed! between 20091114 and 20091117. Indeed reinstalling the previous build, 20091114, it looks better than current 20091117. The build I did on 20091114 looks like other KDE applications using the same font (Konsole, for example). On Kubuntu-8.04.3 the build of 20091117 fails as described, so I cannot compare anything.You forgot to answer my questions. I can't do anything until you do. Also, what font did you use?Jan D.
