Subject: 23.0.93; GTK font selection: asked for Courier, got Nimbus

I have set up the following X resources for Emacs:

Emacs.FontBackend: xft, x
Emacs.font:-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--*-120-*-*-m-*-iso10646-1

This works okay, as can be seen with `C-u C-x =' :

,----
|         character: S (83, #o123, #x53)
| preferred charset: ascii (ASCII (ISO646 IRV))
|        code point: 0x53
|            syntax: w 	which means: word
|          category: .:Base, a:ASCII, l:Latin, r:Roman
|       buffer code: #x53
|         file code: #x53 (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)
|           display: by this font (glyph code)
|     xft:-Adobe-Courier-normal-normal-normal-*-17-*-*-*-m-100-iso10646-1 (#x35)
`----

But choosing "Courier 12" from the GTK font selection dialog gives me
another font, and an extremely ugly one:

,----
|         character: S (83, #o123, #x53)
| preferred charset: ascii (ASCII (ISO646 IRV))
|        code point: 0x53
|            syntax: w 	which means: word

I can't reproduce it.  Please show me the result of these
commands:

% fc-list courier file

And also try this:
% start Emacs as usual
ESC : (setq font-log nil) RET
;; choose 'courier 12' font from the GTK dialog
M-x font-show-log RET

and show me the *Help* buffer.

It's strange that the first font listing is for that
pattern.  The first one should be:

ftfont-list: -Adobe-courier-*-iso8859-1

Are you sure that you followed the above procedure exactly
without doing anything else?

And please show me the result of this too:

% xlsfonts -fn '-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal-*'

It seems that you have three kinds of courier fonts:
      X: -adobe-courier-* (bitmap fonts, same as below)
    Xft: -Adobe-courier-* (/usr/share/fonts/X11/*dpi/cour*.pcf.gz)
X alias: -urw-nimbus mono l-* (Type1 scalable fonts)

Yes.  It is probably due to my X resource setting:

Emacs.font:-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--*-120-*-*-m-*-iso10646-1

Should I replace iso10646 with iso8859?

It's usually better to leave it unspecified:

  Emacs.font:-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--*-120-*-*-m-*-*-*

but Emacs should (hopefully) be able to handle your case as well.

Ok, I see.  It seems that the problem here is this:

o menu-set-font returns the font name "courier 12"; i.e no
	information about spacing, dpi
o no bitmap courier font has the exact pixelsize for 12pt on your screen.
o so Emacs selected a scalable font, that is the above "nimbus mono l" font.

I think "% emacs -fn courier-12" will also select the
"nimbus mono l" font in this environment.

Please try:
M-x set-default-font RET courier-12:spacing=m RET

Doesn't it select a bitmap font, perhaps the same one as this
startup font?

I've just installed a fix to handle :type property of font
correctly in set-face-attribute.

So, this problem can be solved by modifying x-select-font
(called from menu-set-font) to return a font-spec (with a
proper font-backend name in :type) instead of font-name.

But, x-select-font is called from mouse-appearance-menu (in
mouse.el) too, and it does something like this:

(buffer-face-mode-invoke (font-face-attributes (x-select-font)) ...)

and thus the :type information is lost by
font-face-attributes.  I don't know why we need
font-face-attributes here.

By the way, if a user is using `x' font-backend only, we
should not use x-select-font (of xfns.c) because the
selected font is usually not usable.

I've now done this in the trunk for the GTK 3 case.  It's not
straightforward to do this for GTK 2, so I will not attempt that.

How did you solve it?  Or, is it not a problem?

Sorry, I missed that.  I just committed a fix.  If x-select-font returns
a font spec, mouse-appearance-menu now calls

   (buffer-face-mode-invoke (list :font font) ...)

This required fixing xfaces.c to allow face-remapping using :font, which
was previously broken.

It's an old bug that hasn't been fixed for years, and I thought emacs-24 
was only for fixing regressions.  Was I wrong?  If so, I can backport it.

emacs-24 is (IMO) for safe bug fixes, and surely this is a safe bug fix.
