(split_font_name): Compute numeric value of XLFD_AVGWIDTH. (LFACE_AVGWIDTH): New macro. (LFACEP): Use AREF. (check_lface_attrs): Check LFACE_AVGWIDTH. (lface_fully_specified_p): Don't check LFACE_AVGWIDTH. (set_lface_from_font_name): Set LFACE_AVGWIDTH. (merge_face_vectors): Check LFACE_AVGWIDTH. (Finternal_make_lisp_face): Use AREF. (xm_set_menu_resources_from_menu_face) (xl_set_menu_resources_from_menu_face): Check LFACE_AVGWIDTH. (Finternal_lisp_face_empty_p): Use AREF. (lface_same_font_attributes_p): Compare LFACE_AVGWIDTH. (better_font_p, exact_face_match_p): Add parameter AVGWIDTH. Compare average widths.. (best_matching_font): Arrange for comparing average widths.

This is a list of known problems to date with the Windows NT/95 port of
GNU Emacs.

* Handle wildcards in ls-lisp (e.g., C-x d *.c).

* Interactive subprocess output is buffered in jerky

* Presently, C:\foo\bar and C:/foo/bar bring up two buffers on the same file.
  Solve this by adding a switch that canonicalizes path separators
  (e.g., make them all / or all \)?

* call-process-region: Another tricky situation with binary and text modes.
  An example by [e-mail]: use crypt++ to load compressed
  data into a buffer, edit the buffer, save the data back out.  (Also
  need to propagate the "/C" switch change sent the shell in crypt++.el
  back to the author.)

* Dired uses ls-lisp, which reports all files as being owned by the
  current user.  Need to dig through the security descriptor to extract
  the owner of the file (and the group?) using LookupAccountSid.

* Integrate the build for NT into the GNU config process once
  a decent shell becomes freely available

* Integrate networking.

* Fix Win95 subprocesses.
