[STUMP] questions

[Mostafa Razavi]

Hi. I'm a new convert, and I have like a thousand questions! I know this 
is a "devel" mailing list, but it's the only mailing list StumpWM has, 
so I hope it's all right if I ask my questions here (not all one 
thousand though, not now!).

I've been trying to change the font StumpWM uses. Using "set-font" it 
seems to me that truetype fonts are not usable. When I set the font to 
"-adobe-helvetica-medium-normal--12*" it works. When I set it to 
"-unknown-DejaVu Sans Mono-normal-*-13-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1" it doesn't. 
I got that by calling "describe-face" in emacs, so I'm sure the font 
exists. I'm not very familiar with how fonts are handled in X. Trying 
xlsfonts and xlib:list-font-names, I see that they don't list my 
truetype fonts. Is there a way I can use a better looking font than the 
default one?

Another problem I've encountered is with "read-one-line". Calling it 
from the slime repl in emacs causes weird problems. If I type slowly, 
everything is fine. If I type fast, stumpwm gives error messages 
mid-typing like "k is not bound" (k can be any key really). Once, it 
even caused the system to freeze completely. I defined a command that 
calls read-one-line and invoked it by the ";" command. Everything worked 
fine, so I think this is somehow related to a combination of emacs and 
stumpwm. Not a big issue, but still I thought I'd report it.

Also, the wifi contrib module does not work for me. It looks for a 
"wireless" subdirectory in my /sys/class/net/wlan0 which does not exist 
on my system. I'm running Debian with linux 2.6.32-5-amd54 and with the 
latest StumpWM from git.

Any help on these is appreciated. Thanks.
