However, it has been recommended to users for ages that customizing faces
should be done
from within Emacs, instead of using X resources. I am trying to get you to
follow this
school of thought. Instead we are trying to push even more stuff, requiring
users
to also read the relevant documentation for x-resources. All this and more,
the Emacs
Manual, The Emacs Lisp Reference, The Emacs source code as not everything in
documented,
and so on. If it has been recommended to customise faces from within Emacs,
then why
have by default the capture of settings from things not recommended. This kind
of design
ideas is winding up people something awful. Emacs cannot even agree with
itself.
