Dear Stephen

thanks very much for all your helpful answers. indeed the details of the
differences between emacs and xemacs are not so important. but, it would
certainly not be easy (morally) to divorce from xemacs.

so, I copied and loaded the url directory from GNU and will start
debugging as soon as possible. 

Any idea when the official (not beta) version of Xemacs will have xft
support?

Tomy
