[apluslist] setting-up A+ fonts for Xemacs

[Alexander Skomorokhov]

Pedro,

The problem may be because of

1. lisp macro to customize xemacs
2. font itself

The first is more serious (IMHO), so, please, confirm that you may
start xemacs
press F4 to start A+ in xemacs
press Meta-I 3 and get 1 2 3 (if even Meta-I generates something awful).

If the above works for you, than you are almost ok. Congratulations.

As for fonts you may try my script I use in Linux to start A+xemacs:
------------------cut here--------------------------
#!/bin/bash
xemacs -l
/usr/local/aplus-fsf-4.18/lisp/.emacs -fn --kapl-screen-r-normal--15-150-72-
72-m--iso8859-1
------------------cut here--------------------------
It solved for me all the problems like this in Linux. You see it pass lisp
macro directly and pass
font directly with it's "full" name.

I recently played with wiki installation on OS X 10.2 and SuSE Linux 8.2 and
found that it's almost identical
(apache, mysql and php script installation and configuration). That's why I
hope my script may help you.

Good luck,
Sasha.
