Then maybe the problem is the following: I do not consider
`-misc-fixed-*-r-semicondensed-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-*-*` to include "please
use non-anti-aliased fonts", contrary to the `-fn monospace:antialias=0`
of bug#37473?
I'd actually be happier if Emacs could find an anti-aliased version
of misc-fixed :-)
The only part I could see that "collides" with "DejaVu Sans" is the
"semicondensed" part, but if I change my recipe to add `:width normal`,
I *still* don't get to see my variable-pitch text in DejaVu Sans.
Oh wait... I can recover the behavior I want by selecting
:family "DejaVu Sans" :foundry "PfEd"
so the problem is the foundry info. Changing the recipe to use
-*-fixed-*-r-semicondensed-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
doesn't help, OTOH (IOW Emacs insists on preserving the foundry even if
I did not explicitly request any particular foundry).
Does it make sense to preserve the `:foundry` attribute when the
`:family` is different? I always thought of `:foundry` as a weird
detail which only makes sense when selecting a specific implementation
of a given `:family`. In my experience the foundry is very rarely
used/exposed (e.g., I had no idea what was the foundry to use for
`DejaVu Sans` and I have no idea what "PfEd" means (but my web search
suggests it's not really a "foundry")), and it's rare to have
several foundries for the same font family.
Is there some way to say `:foundry any` in order to override the
default's foundry but without having to choose a particular foundry?
Stefan
PS: Things become really weird with:
src/emacs -Q --eval '(progn (custom-set-faces `(variable-pitch ((t (:family
"DejaVu Sans" :foundry "*"))))) (add-to-list `default-frame-alist `(font .
"-*-fixed-*-*-semicondensed-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-*-*")) (font-lock-mode -1) (insert
(propertize "hello" `face `variable-pitch) " world"))'
where "hello" ends up with the following font:
