Throughout the file, delete all USE_FONT_BACKEND conditionals. Don't check enable_font_backend. Delete all codes used only when USE_FONT_BACKEND is not defined. Don't include ccl.h. (x_per_char_metric, x_encode_char): Deleted. (x_set_cursor_gc, x_set_mouse_face_gc): Don't set GCFont. (x_compute_glyph_string_overhangs): Adjusted for the change of `struct face' (x_draw_glyph_string_foreground) (x_draw_composite_glyph_string_foreground): Likewise. (x_draw_glyph_string): Likewise. Use font->underline_position and font->underline_thickness. (x_new_font): Renamed from x_new_fontset2. (x_new_fontset, x_get_font_info, x_list_fonts): Deleted. (x_check_font): Call `check' method of a font driver. (x_font_min_bounds, x_compute_min_glyph_bounds, x_load_font) (x_query_font, x_get_font_repertory): Deleted. (x_find_ccl_program): Renamed and moved to xfont.c. (x_redisplay_interface): Adjusted for the change of `struct redisplay_interface'.

;;; Commentary:

;; This file supplies the macro make-help-screen which constructs
;; single character dispatching with browsable help such as that provided
;; by help-for-help. This can be used to make many modes easier to use; for
;; example, the GNU Emacs Empire Tool uses this for every "nested" mode map
;; called from the main mode map.

;;       The name of this package was changed from help-screen.el to
;; help-macro.el in order to fit in a 14-character limit.

;;-> ***********************  Example of use *********************************

;;->		  "You have discovered the GEET redistribution commands
;;->   From here, you can use the following options:
;;->
;;->c	Redistribute civs from overfull sectors into connected underfull ones
;;->	  The functions typically named by empire-ideal-civ-fcn control
;;->          based in part on empire-sector-civ-threshold
;;->m	Redistribute military using levels given by empire-ideal-mil-fcn
;;->p	Redistribute excess population to highways for max pop growth
;;->	  Excess is any sector so full babies will not be born.
;;->f	Even out food on highways to highway min and leave levels
;;->	  This is good to pump max food to all warehouses/dist pts

;;->Use \\[help-for-empire-redistribute-map] for help on redistribution.
