Change many FRAME_X... macros to FRAME_WINDOW... or other non-platform-specific equivalents. [WINDOWSNT]: include w32term.h, fontset.h and define X specific functions and macros as their w32 equivalents where non-platform-specifics are not available. [HAVE_X_WINDOWS]: Change most of these to HAVE_WINDOW_SYSTEM. (x_create_gc, x_free_gc) [WINDOWSNT]: Add W32 versions. (clear_font_table) [WINDOWSNT]: Call w32_unload_font. (frame_update_line_height): Use macros to access f->output_data. (defined_color): Remove FIXME comments; fixed. (x_face_list_fonts, prepare_face_for_display): Put X specifics into #ifdef blocks. Add WINDOWSNT blocks. (Fx_list_fonts): Use macros for accessing font data. (set_lface_from_font_name): Different default fonts for X and WINDOWSNT. (font_scalable_p) [WINDOWSNT]: Treat wildcard XLFD_AVGWIDTH as scalable for backward compatibility. (realize_tty_face) [MSDOS]: do the same for WINDOWSNT. (syms_of_xfaces) [WINDOWSNT]: Allow scalable fonts by default.

README for Edition 2.5 of the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual.

* This directory contains the texinfo source files for the Reference
Manual, make-permuted-index, and the latest version of texinfo.tex,
which handles forms that cannot be handled by the older versions of
texinfo.tex.

* Report Lisp Manual bugs to [e-mail].  We don't read
these bug reports until it's time for a new edition.  To report other
Emacs bugs, use [e-mail].  To ask questions, use the
newsgroup gnu.emacs.help.

* The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is quite large.  It totals around
900 pages in smallbook format; the info files total almost two
megabytes.

* You can format this manual either for Info or for printing hardcopy
using TeX.  

* You can buy nicely printed copies from the Free Software Foundation.
For info, send mail to [e-mail] or phone [phone].  Buying a
manual from the Free Software Foundation helps support our GNU
development work.

** This distribution contains a Makefile that you can use with GNU Make.
Otherwise, here are detailed instructions:

** HARDCOPY: A copy of the version of `texinfo.tex' that formats this
manual is included in this distribution.

The master file for formatting this manual for Tex is called
`elisp.texi'.  It contains @include commands to include all the
chapters that make up the manual.  In addition, `elisp.texi' has
the title page in a new format designed by Karl Berry, using the
@titlespec command.

To create a DVI file with a sorted index, execute the following
commands in the shell:

% ./configure
% make index.texi
% make elisp.dvi

*** To create a DVI file with a permuted index, you may experiment
with `make-permuted-index'.  

** To make an Info file, you need to install Texinfo, then run
`./configure' and `make elisp'.  To install the Info files, run
`make install'.
