X11 developer updates?
Since I occasionally compile my own X11 programs, I was wondering if there are any updates outside the X11.app beta distribution that I should try to use, such as headers, libraries, etc., and what would be the best approach for me to update those. Or should I stick with the stock Apple development libraries. I think my X11 development environment is from the 10.5-X11 Developer distribution + 10.5.4 + 10.5.5 updates. TIA Dave
Your best bet is to install the latest release from http://xquartz.macosforge.org (or try out the betas if you want...) Those packages contain the latest headers and libs. --Jeremy On Oct 31, 2008, at 13:22, Dave Ray wrote:

Just noticed that Beta 2 has changed the font size of an emacs running locally (from macports - GNU Emacs 22.3.1 (i386-apple-darwin9.5.0, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2008-10-23 on snow.hillside.co.uk). The font of the main display area has 'got bigger'. It's also made remote python apps - like serviceconf on CentOs go to a bigger (and more acceptable) font size. Proved this by reverting to Beta-1 BTW. I have: *font: -b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-12-120-75-75-m-70- iso10646-1 in my Xresources. Emacs seems to be choosing: -b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-14-100-100-100-m-80- iso10646-1 as its standard font. I presume that this is a side effect of changing the basic resolution of the server - and emacs being to clever for it's own good. Anyone got hints about how I convince emacs to use the font I want to use? I can select the font 'by hand'. Regards _____________________________________________ Peter Collinson

Not only emacs. Qt-based programs have 30% bigger fonts now, too.
I noticed this too. I like it! Can we keep it please? thanks, -- Viv ________________________________________________ Dr Viv Kendon http://quantum.leeds.ac.uk/~viv tel: +44 113 343 4864 Physics and Astronomy Quantum Information Group University of Leeds
Don't get me wrong - I am happy with it too.... On 3 Nov 2008, at 16:29, Viv Kendon wrote:

Basically anything using libXft... And to answer Peter's original question, you can "trick" libXft to do something different with something like: xrdb -nocpp -merge - << EOF Xft.antialias: 1 Xft.dpi: 100 Xft.hinting: 1 Xft.hintstyle: hintmedium Xft.rgba: none EOF --Jeremy On Nov 3, 2008, at 00:54, Martin Costabel wrote:

Hmm.. the Emacs effect was down to me - I'd set the font in my local .emacs file - removing the setting made things work as I wanted - I'd presumably put it there eons ago to get around the size problems I was having then. I'd added (if( = emacs-major-version 22) (set-face-attribute 'default nil :family "lucida sans typewriter" :height 116)) which I think was the magic I needed then.. so things are now working 'more properly' than before.
