(w32_fill_rect): Do not try to deal with NULL hdc here. Callers changed to always pass real device context. (w32_draw_bitmap): Likewise. (w32_get_glyph_overhangs): Likewise. (w32_draw_box_rect): Make use of s->hdc rather than getting a new one. (w32_set_vertical_scroll_bar): Pass correct HWND parameters to pfnSetScrollInfo and SetScrollRange. (x_get_char_face_and_encoding): Don't turn iso8859-1 characters back into MULE characters after decoding them. (x_get_glyph_face_and_encoding): Likewise. (w32_per_char_metric): Use GetCharExtentPoint32W as fallback when GetCharABCWidthsW fails, since this is defined on Windows 9x. (x_produce_glyphs): Calculate per char metrics for a character that we know exists in default font when font_not_found_p is true.

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'.
