Trying to test x-symbol as per the instructions ( http://x-symbol.sourceforge.net/man/x-symbol_2.html#SEC20 ) within SUSE 10.1's xemacs ( 21.5.25.20060327 ) always results in an error. This happens of both the 32bit and 64bit versions of xemacs. Typing M-x x-symbol-grid in buffer `*scratch*' always produces the following error at the bottom of xemacs:
"Invalid argument: Invalid tag set, (mule-fonts)"
The answer turned out to be to add: (define-specifier-tag 'mule-fonts) to the user's ~/.xemacs/init.el . Attempting to to do M-x x-symbol-grid now results in a segfault but xsymbol seems to kind of work in day to day use. The problem is apparently due to a break in the backwards compatibility of xemacs. As of 21.x the mule-fonts tag is no longer used internally ( http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.xemacs.beta/20171/focus=20172 ) . Further, the x-symbol package is unmaintained thus this problem may become worse in the future ( http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.xemacs.beta/22891/focus=22900 ). This issue also tends to surface in relation to proofgeneral/isabelle when used with xemacs. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
