I looked into this today. The main Emacs branch does *not* have these compilation options, so the answer is not to add them. The only way of getting this Xft support is to switch to the unicode-2 branch, which is not going to happen. The current policy for this particular package is to track the main branch only.
I am not opposed to making a separate similarly-named package that has this support, however. I am a bit nervous about getting deluged in bug reports about various functionality in unicode-2 causing breakage, but perhaps as long as we specify that this is an experimental branch in README.Debian, it might not be too bad. ** Changed in: emacs-snapshot (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- emacs-snapshot should be compiled with xfont support enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/131206 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
