13:29 <shining> hi

13:29 <shining> does anyone use tuareg mode in xemacs?

13:33 <mflux_> I do

13:33 <mflux_> but why don't you ask the question. 9 times out of 10 nobody answers to such vague questions ;)

13:36 <shining> oh sorry, I thought nobody used it :) My problem is that I can't get sym lock to work in this distrib

13:36 <shining> it worked fine in debian though. When I launch xemacs sample.ml, symlock fails to launch complaining about fonts

13:37 <shining> hmm it seems it uses adobe-symbol

13:40 <mflux_> I use debian too, so..

13:40 <shining> the problem is that the total output is way too long... it shows me the lisp code, I don't understand anything. The first error is : Symbol's function definition is void: list-fonts

13:40 <mflux_> sufficiently recent xemacs version?

13:40 <shining> I think so

13:40 <mflux_> "`list-fonts' is a built-in function" says my xemacs

13:41 <shining> ha

13:41 <mflux_> what does M-h f list-fonts say?

13:41 <mflux_> C-h f that is..

13:42 <shining> no match

13:43 <mflux_> M-x version

13:43 <mflux_> XEmacs 21.4 (patch 6)

13:45 <shining> hmm, problem is that I don't know emacs at all. I was just able to handle basic tuareg funcitonality

13:45 <shining> M-x version doesnt seem to work

13:46 <mflux_> maybe you have gnu-emacs and not x-emacs?-o

13:46 <shining> XEmacs 21.5 (beta21)

13:46 <mflux_> maybe it's too recent then :)

13:46 <shining> :)

13:46 <shining> well maybe xemacs debian package includes more things too

13:46 <shining> if I miss a function

13:48 <shining> hmm I've a lot of list-something, but not fonts

13:49 <mflux_> do you run xemacs in X?

13:49 <shining> yes

13:50 <mflux_> well, I'm fresh out of ideas then

13:50 <shining> hmm yes, I saw there could be troubles if it wasnt used in X

13:50 <mflux_> maybe you can (defun list-fonts () '())

13:50 <shining> I'm on xemacs right now, but its quite dead

13:50 <shining> mflux_: where do I do that?

13:50 <shining> in the config file?

13:50 <mflux_> in some init-file such as ~/.xemacs/init.el

13:51 <shining> ok

13:51 <mflux_> actually no

13:51 <mflux_> (defun list-fonts (a) '())

13:51 <mflux_> or even (defun list-fonts (a &optional b) '())

13:53 <shining> I tried this one (defun list-fonts (a) '()), I don't get any errors anymore. I don't think it works though :)

13:53 <shining> it should translate the -> right?

13:54 <mflux_> what?

13:54 <mflux_> it should define a function given any argument will return an empty list

13:55 <mflux_> but maybe it requires some fonts to be found to work

13:55 <shining> yep

13:56 <shining> it should return adobe-symbol or something

13:56 <shining> Within XEmacs (more generally, if you have variable-sized fonts and `atomic-extents' library supported) you may also want to use Sym-Lock Warning: MULE (multilingual) versions of XEmacs do not support multiple font encodings in a single buffer, which is required by Sym-Lock.

13:57 <shining> I don't really know what a variable-sized fonts is, and I can't find what atomic-extents is, if it's supported or not

13:59 <mflux_> try replacing '() with '("adobe-symbol") or '(adobe-symbol) then

14:00 <mflux_> or maybe "fixed"

14:02 <shining> btw this function is described here : http://www.xemacs.org/Documentation/21.5/html/lispref_50.html

14:03 <shining> I've no idea why I don't have it. maybe I should try to build and install xemacs myself. but its a bit huge

14:04 <shining> Args out of range: adobe-symbol, 11, 17

14:47 <shining> mflux_: well you were right :) my version is too new

14:48 <shining> list-fonts was renamed to font-list. so quite obvious to fix in the sym-lock.el file

20:21 <ulfdoz> bye
