Newsgroups: alt.lucid-emacs.help
I'm new to this font changing packages.  I have been playing with hilit
and I have it working fairly well.  However, it interfears with some
other things I'm using.  I was told that font-lock would be better for
my needs.  I have tried to play with font-lock but I'm not having much
success.  My main concern is with C++-mode.  Just turning on
font-lock-mode make my strings underlined and thats it.  I have tried
to change some of the faces, but I can't get that to work.  I can't
even find proper names to use.  I have been able to change the color of
stings and c-style comments, but not c++ comments.  

Does anyone have a set-up I can look at, or have any more documentation?
I like the idea this changes while you write, and that keywords are
highlighted.  If I can only get it to do more....

Gents,

I've just compiled and installed lemacs 19.4 on a sun, 4.1.3, gcc
2.3.1, X11R5, for the first time thing seem to work in one go, at least for me.

I'd like to make the change from epoch to lemacs, but I'm very much
bothered with some comint problems:

* strings send to dbx are echoed in dbx-inferior-mode
* I get a ^M at the end of every line of dbx output.

This creates a messy screen, if nothing else.

It also seems to effect some internal function use to send line, as
after a while ^M get set to dbx as well, thoruughly confusing it.

Am I missing something??

Hi,

I've compiled Lucid emacs 19.4 on a DEC 5000/240. Really smooth compilation
with a few hints from from the compilation of the previous release! Great!

I noticed that the Fortran mode now has the comment 'Fixed-format' added
to it in the status bar. Does this imply that there is a Free-format
version? I could really do with one!

I've tried hacking fortran-mode.el, but that is currently way beyond my
capabilities, so if somebody out there can offer some help it will be
much appreciated!

By the way, how do I change the font size in lemacs? I've got a really tiny
font at the moment!

Cheers,

Adriaan

And a bunch of people talked about X-resources...

Jamie kindly suggested I try 19.4-beta, which seems to have fixed our screen
creation problems.  I would suggest that others with these problems 
give 19.4 a try.

Actually, what I meant was figuring out where to get the resources from,
that is, parsing the $XFILESEARCHPATH and $XUSERFILESEARCHPATH and 
$XAPPLRESDIR variables.  But now I seem to recall that there's an Xt
library routine that can be convinced to do that.

But that would be nice.  (Actually I have some ideas about it...)

I think this is a little tricky to do portably, but maybe not.

Right, but one problem is that nothing parsed from the resource database is
ever freed.  So if you're experimenting with menubar colors, you're going to
fill up your colormap eventually, because the old colors won't get freed.
(This isn't true of faces.)

> This is what I really want, and what I just can't seem to make work.

When I loaded in your resources, I got the colors that you expected.  I also
tried this:

	% xrdb -merge
	Emacs*modeline.attributeBackground: pink
	foobar*modeline.attributeBackground: red
	^D
	% lemacs -q			<- got a pink modeline
	% lemacs -q -name foobar	<- got a red modeline

So I guess there is some other resource conflict going on.  Or maybe you're
calling set-face-background in your .emacs file...?

Subject: lemacs 19.4 on decstation
Newsgroups: alt.lucid-emacs.help
Managed to get lemacs 19.4 working on a decstation, 
with ultrix 4.2A, mips c-compiler, dec's X11R4 and Motif.

Encountered two "real" problems:

  src/keymap.c did not compile with -g flag, used -O instead

  on my system, stdio.h includes a typedef of size_t 
  this conflicts with #define size_t in src/gmalloc.c
  added "#undef size_t" just before "#include <stdio.h>" in gmalloc.c.
  not sure if gmalloc.c should do that...
  (fortunately the size_t used was the same...)

One small nuisance:

  The mips c-compiler really likes to tell you 
  that it doesn't support the "const" keyword yet.
  To get rid of the hundreds of warnings,
  added -Dconst="" to C_SWITCH_SITE in config.sys

Had to define NEED_STRDUP and NEED_REALPATH, as I had to for 19.3.
Maybe this should be added to some s-ultrix4-2A.h (?).

Much easier installation than previous versions!

19.4 seems to load and run faster!

Dialog box support with Motif!
Font is too big on my screen though.
What are the X-resources used?
Application size is getting too big: > 4MB 
(Motif linking added more than 1 MB,
really makes you miss shared lib support on ultrix)

Still no scrollbars (yet)...

Have xpm linked in, 
but have no idea what additional "features" I have available now(?)

All of you at Lucid, as well as those brave beta-testers world-wide, 
great job and thanks very much!

The comment-recognizing routines in font-lock mode seem to ignore the
beginning of the comment.  

I brought up lemacs 19.4 and brought up font-lock.el and fontified it.

I then set the foreground color of comment-face to blue so that I
could see it better. The first semicolon in all of the comments is not
fontified.

In c-mode the first "/*" and last "/" of comments are not fontified.

Is there a fix for this?

I'm going to be releasing my tek-highlight package for Lucid Emacs
soon (there is a stable version for Epoch, and I've just got it to
highlight a buffer today in Lucid Emacs).

Tek-highlight is like lhilit.el, but allows you to customise all
features of the faces from X resources, and allows you to have
arbitrarily complex functions to work out what to highlight.  The
comment highlighting uses the "syntax-decode" package that I
contributed to the emacs lisp archive, so it can work out what
comments to highlight in any mode that has a syntax table defined.

I'll be looking for beta-testers if anyone is interested.

Release date should be within two weeks (but don't quote me on that).

The reason I didn't put this in is because I would rather have the x/y/
width/height symbols work.  I try to live under the illusion that Lucid Emacs
is not completely married to X, so I resist making the functional interfaces
to things be obviously X-specific (as the X syntax for geometry specs is.)

Subject: Is there useful lemacs elisp available?
Newsgroups: alt.lucid-emacs.help
Lucid emacs 19.4 was just announced to comp.windows.x.announce.  I've
been interested in picking this up for some time, but before I do, I
want someone to tell me what I'll be able to do with it.  I don't like
using the mouse, so I'm not to excited about the menubar and dialog
boxes, but there are presumably lots of neat things that could be done
with multiple fonts, colors and screen.  If anyone has written useful
elisp that takes advantage of these features of lemacs, I'd like to hear
about it.

For example, is there a man-page mode for viewing man pages with
multiple fonts?  Is there an improved gdb mode that displays break
points with little stopsign icons?  Will M-x compile open a new screen
to display process output in, rather than dividing my main editing
screen into two windows?

Please reply directly to david@ora.com, since I haven't subscribed to
this mailing list yet.

Does nobody have any suggestions?  I've received no replies, nor have I seen
any postings on this subject.  Say it isn't so!
