No i did not look at all at the patches of your package i just did a blind grep -r and did a 2s hack (which actually does not compile theses days and i have dropped it since i do not really care about disabling the font backend). Cheers, Chmouel. Hi Alexandre,

As gallows said, the patch will need to be updated at some point. I maintain a Ubuntu Edgy package of the Unicode branch; and about once per month I need to merge the changes from Debian, because the patches breaks. So, your mileage may vary. I suggest you to use my packages, which you probably already know of (I recognize my little --disable-font-backend hack :P). I update it about once per week. The instructions, how to use it, are at: http://peadrop.com/blog/category/computers/emacs/ Your method will eventually screw up. As gallows said, the patch will need to be updated at some point.

However thanks for posting that :) Anyway (IMHO) isn’t a good idea to use that patch (ubuntu diff) against the *last* emacs’ snapshot from cvs.

I was guessing you might have cut and pasted the wrong URL and you meant a patch from an emacs-snapshot package. You refer to including a patch from, specifically, the emacs-wiki package.

Let me know if you have problems with it. Cheers, Chmouel.
