top | item 19647674 (no title) bdarnell | 6 years ago Here's the NEWS file for the curious: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/etc/NEWS?h=e... discuss order hn newest josteink|6 years ago Thanks. Weird it not being linked directly in the post.“ New variable 'xft-ignore-color-fonts'.Default t means don't try to load color fonts when using Xft, as they often cause crashes. Set it to nil if you really need those fonts.”I see they finally caved in (although in a quite pedantly trying not to way) and allowed use of color-fonts. Whee! anoncake|6 years ago Was the problem not that no free OS supported color fonts properly? Emacs does not belong to the Monochrome Font Foundation, after all. Disabling a feature because it causes crashes is not ideological. unknown|6 years ago [deleted]
