(isearch-search-fun): Compare the length of the
current search string with the length of the string from the
previous search state to detect the situation when the user
adds or removes characters in the search string.
Use word-search-forward-lax and word-search-backward-lax in this

6 New font handling mechanism with font backend method | |
7 ---------------------------------------------------- | |
8 | |
9 The configure script, if invoked with "--enable-font-backend", checks | |
10 if libraries freetype and fontconfig exist. If they are both | |
11 available, macro "USE_FONT_BACKEND" is defined in src/config.h. In | |
12 that case, the existence of Xft library is checked too. | |
13 | |
14 The new files are: | |
15 font.h -- header providing font-backend related structures | |
16 (most important ones are "struct font" and "struct | |
17 font_driver"), macros, and etc. | |
18 font.c -- main font handling code. | |
19 xfont.c -- font-driver on X for X core fonts. | |
20 ftfont.c -- generic font-driver for FreeType fonts providing | |
21 device-independent methods of struct font_driver. | |
22 xftfont.c -- font-driver on X using Xft for FreeType fonts | |
23 utilizing methods provided by ftfont.c. | |
24 ftxfont.c -- font-driver on X directly using FreeType fonts | |
25 utilizing methods provided by ftfont.c. | |
26 w32font.c -- font driver on w32 using Windows native fonts, | |
27 corresponding to xfont.c | |

33 So we already have codes for X and w32. For Mac it seems that we need |

34 these files: |
92006 | 35 atmfont.c -- font-driver on mac using ATM fonts, corresponding |
36 to xfont.c | |
37 As BDF fonts are currently used on w32, we may also implement these: | |
38 bdffont.c -- generic font-driver for BDF fonts, corresponding to | |
39 ftfont.c | |
40 bdfw32font.c -- font-driver on w32 using BDF fonts, | |
41 corresponding to ftxfont.c | |
42 But, as FreeType already supports BDF fonts, if FreeType and | |
43 Fontconfig are also available on w32, what we need may be: | |
44 ftw32font.c -- font-driver on w32 directly using FreeType fonts | |
45 utilizing methods provided by ftfont.c. | |
46 | |
47 And, for those to work, macterm.c and macfns.c must be changed by the | |
48 similar way as xterm.c and xfns.c (the parts "#ifdef USE_FONT_BACKEND" | |
49 ... "#endif" should be checked). | |
50 | |
51 It may be interesting if Emacs supports a frame buffer directly and | |
52 has these font driver. | |
53 ftfbfont.c -- font-driver on FB for FreeType fonts. | |
54 bdffbfont.c -- font-driver on FB for BDF fonts. | |
55 | |
56 Note: The fontset related codes are not yet matured to work well with | |
57 the font backend method. So, for instance, even if you start Emacs | |
58 as something like this: | |
59 % emacs -fn tahoma | |
60 Non-ASCII Latin characters will not be displayed by the font "tahoma". | |
61 In such a case, please try this: | |
62 | |
63 (set-fontset-font "fontset-default" 'latin '("tahoma" . "unicode-bmp")) | |
