Re: Using Emacs 22 Courier font in Emacs 23?

[Nicolas]

Hello,

I found the mule-diag command, which helped me identify the name of the 
font I was using under Emacs 22. It is 
-Adobe-Courier-Medium-R-Normal--17-120-100-100-M-100-ISO8859-1. I then 
tried the command emacs23 -fn 
-Adobe-Courier-Medium-R-Normal--17-120-100-100-M-100-ISO8859-1, and it 
worked!

I then located the font file (called n022003l.pfb on my Debian system), 
converted it to True Type using FontForge, and loaded it as a True Type 
font in Emacs: the characters themselves had exactly the same size, but 
the vertical approaches were bigger (slightly bigger below, and lots 
bigger above the character).

It is as if Emacs 22 would crop the approaches, while it is not the case 
with True Type fonts.

It would be great to be able to have such cropping with True Type fonts.
