Andrew Ruder asked:Is there really some reason that we are continuing to have the -art backend *not* be the default backend?I am still using -xlib because the last time I tried -art, I found: 1. I couldn't get non-Latin1 fonts to work; 2. it seemed slower in normal light use - seems like more anti-aliasing done, but maybe related to failing font searchs; 3. it didn't work remotely.
I'm also using -xlib, because of the #3, and the lack-of-fonts problem. If there's a way to use X, postscript, etc. system fonts it needs to be made easier and/or part of the -art install process.) (Not that -xlib/fontcacher's font-handling is perfect, BTW.. I think the remote operation issue is also surmountable? Is there any way to autodetect a remote display and disable SHM for that process?
I'm also having some problems with Emacs on -art, which I've posted before, but they seem minor and can hopefully be resolved.
