23.0.90; emacs-snapshot has ugly fonts when using set-default-font elisp function |
|
Date: |
Sun, 15 Feb 2009 00:32:28 -0500 |
Using emacs-snapshot-20090207, the text display becomes very ugly when
set via:
(set-default-font "DejaVu Sans Mono-10")
However, if the font is set via the menu bar: Options->Set Default Font
then the fonts look good (i.e., with proper anti-aliasing).
In GNU Emacs 23.0.90.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.14.4)

If the frame is already using an XFT font, doing
(set-face-attribute 'default (selected-frame)
:font "DejaVu Sans Mono 10")
will give an XFT (anti-aliased) version of DejaVu Sans Mono. If the
frame is using an X font, the same code gives the X version of DejaVu
Sans Mono.
Doing
(modify-frame-parameters (selected-frame)
(list (cons 'font "DejaVu Sans Mono 10")))
always returns the X version. This discrepancy is due to the use of
font_open_by_name instead of font_load_for_lface.
I don't think there is anything that need to be corrected, apart from
giving the XFT driver a higher priority; I've just done that.
