Well, I got delayed a bit. Below is my patch for speeding up frame creation by sharing fontsets between frames. It works fine on my system; frame creation feels almost instantaneous again. I think ap
I think that this, or something similar, was already beat to death back in July, but I'm not sure that this side of it was raised. I'll desist at the first sign that no one wants to hear this, but le
I don't think this is the right solution. First, either maintainer-clean or removing *.elc files causes the next bootstrap to run much longer, so we should avoid that as much as we could. Ideally, "m

Certainly it would be better to use a variable than straight text where possible. But, please, no address@hidden cvs keywords (which have bugger-all connection to anything real anyway). Where do all

... the current value is updated to the same value that is written to your custom file. That is not the same thing as evaluating your entire .emacs file, however. I am refering to `All'. Clearly, ind
OK. raw-text is good. If the string comes straight from raw-text (via a multibyte buffer), that means it only has ascii and eight-bit-* chars, so all you need is to turn it from multibyte to unibyte
Phooey. Ok, this sounds like it makes sense. It also sounds like it should work also under XEmacs without having to engage my brain in particular. Now I am venturing into the realm of pure luxury: is
Yes. A media-type is a major-type / minor-type plus an optional list of parameters which are separated from themselves and the major/minor type info by semi-colons, eg: text/plain; charset=utf-8; oth
Hi all, I apologize for the "retro" question, but I was wondering if there was an easy way to convert a character in the Emacs-20 internal 19-bit encoding (from FAST_GLYPH_CHAR(glyph)) to UTF-8 (pref
Since Emacs-21's internal chars are a superset of Emacs-20's internal chars, you can just use Emacs-21's facilities like (encode-coding-string <str> 'utf-8) or (encode-char <char> 'ucs). Stefan
I apologize for the "retro" question, but I was wondering if there was an easy way to convert a character in the Emacs-20 internal 19-bit encoding (from FAST_GLYPH_CHAR(glyph)) to UTF-8 (preferable)

I have just had a user complain in a German Usenet group that "Options/Truncate Long Lines in this buffer" is not saved when you use "Save Options". Now anybody with half a brain should be able to fi
Now anybody with half a brain should be able to figure out that since "this buffer" does not exist in the next Emacs session, there is nothing to save here. While in the long run, I don't think Emac
