Hi all,
Having tried various alternatives, i now use Inconsolata-g as my
preferred general Emacs font:
http://leonardo-m.livejournal.com/77079.html
using Xft as my Emacs font backend.
In trying to use the `company-quickhelp` package, however, i
discovered that it wasn't working due to a call to
`pos-tip-show`, which in turn essentially calls:
(font-spec :name (frame-parameter (window-frame
(selected-window)) 'font))
This call results in:
(error "Invalid font name:
-unknown-Inconsolata-g-normal-normal-normal-*-13-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1")
which is, of course, due to the dash in the font name; the X
Logical Font Description Conventions:
http://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.6/doc/xorg-docs/specs/XLFD/xlfd.html#fontname_syntax
exclude the dash/hyphen as a valid in-field character.
What, if anything, can be done about this? Should this be
considered a bug, or "working as intended"?
Alexis.
