My question is whether or not there is a simple fix for this? Or, what lisp functions are being called in the background when I do step 2 so I can just hack the .emacs file to forcefully load fixedsys.
Fixedsys Excelsior 3.ttf
I've packaged fixedsys-excelsior because it seems to be the most complete font and it's free. I'm waiting a feedback from the creator regarding the license and it's authorization for inclusion in Ubuntu.
Thank you very much, Jean-Baptiste, for packaging fixedsys-excelsior.Unfortunately on my kubuntu hardy amd64 it has a problem which prevents its use:the width of the character "A" is zero (i.e., the "A" is displayed, but it is overwritten by the character which follows it).
Here is a slightly modified version that can be used at 12pt under Linux. Can you replace the file /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-fixedsys-excelsior/FSEX300.ttf with this one and tell us if it works ? I'll repackage it then.
tff-inconsolata is absolutely not the same thing as fixedsys.It is antialiased (soft/blurred edges) and thin.Jean-Baptiste, could you please please do the last step towards inclusion of ttf-fixedsys-excelsior?Je t'en prie! 2ff7e9595c
