Написано интересно, но для меня уже не очень актуально. Пишите еще!

You say:
“”"
Suffice to say that I assume eventually the Vi people will figure out that they’re in the wrong and switch.
“”"
and I say try editing mixed code html with emacs and you will love vim.
I love both vim and emacs, and I would love to use the additional fonts.

Is there a slackware solution?
thanks

Excellent post. To be honest this was the reason I was using carbon emacs in my mac. I love the fonts. Thanks, I am really happy to have found this. Great job.

Instead of using .Xresources you can actually put this in your ~/.emacs:

(if (>= emacs-major-version 23)
(set-default-font “Monospace-9″))

Maybe a bit more convinient if .Xresources feels scary (it often does).

@Chris Lea
It was very interesting to see though And I’m sure this bug will get fixed in time (maybe it already is in newer builds of Emacs).

I’m using the proprietary ATI drivers with a Radeon HD2600 XT. I wanted to buy NVidia but I thought I was gone from using Linux forever, I tried it out now and then for weeks and sometimes months but never stuck with it. The ATI cards are usually cheaper and faster, so I bought the ATI. Two months after getting the ATI card, I switched over to Linux completely and I cursed myself for buying an ATI card countless times since then

@WimpyWillow Wow, that’s really interesting. For what it’s worth, I don’t see that sort of flickering at all. This makes me think at first guess that it may be something to do with the video drivers. I’m using the proprietary NVidia drivers that you can get from the Ubuntu repositories and an NVidia 8500 (I think) card in my rig. Sorry it didn’t pan out for you.

Looks really nice

But the first line of text in a buffer flickers for me when doing this so I removed the Emacs.font value again (since the normal emacs22 wasn’t even starting anymore with the Emacs.font value set).

If someone else encounters this nice blog post but wants to restore his system again, here’s what I did:

(Dunno if what I did was right but this seems to do the trick)
xrdb -remove Emacs.font

This could also potentially toast your computer because I had no Idea at all what I was doing, use at your own risk.
