Hi John, Thanks for your reply. The funny thing is the emacs window resists all kinds of resizing. "Maximizing" simply shifts the tiny window to the top left corner without actual resizing. As for win98 support, I read both in the official docs and the emacsw32 page saying that it is supported.
Officially, the developers try to maintain support for Windows 9x, but we do so blindly, only finding out about problems if users tell us.
Your problem may be caused by the new font backend code. I suspect that uniscribe may be available on your Windows 98 installation but unusable due to lack of full Unicode support in Windows 98. If this is the problem, then it may help to start Emacs from the command-line as:
emacs -Q -xrm Emacs.fontBackend:gdiIf this works, then you can workaround the problem by modifying the shortcut that starts emacs to add the "-xrm Emacs.fontBackend:gdi" arguments to it.
