Smilies ;)

[Jon Ericson]

Hi,

Recently I turned on smilies again.  As with the last time I tried it,
the characters were removed from the displayed article and the image
was *not* displayed.  The solution I hit upon was to customize
smiley-data-directory to /usr/local/lib/xemacs/site-packages/etc/smilies/.

The default is /share/emacs/etc/smilies/, but that only has the pbm
versions.  For some reason or another, my build of XEmacs on cygwin
doesn't display pbm files.

Should s-d-d default somewhere else?  Or should the xpm files be
installed in /share/emacs/etc/smilies/?  If for some reason the image
can't be displayed, could the original characters be displayed?  Have
I spent too much time on this silly little feature? :)

Thanks,
Jon

Odd.  I thought all X/Emacsen displayed pbm files these days...

Yes, that would be nice.  Hm...  how do we detect the situation where
image display fails?  I seem to recall it can fail very silently in
some cases...

Unthinkable!

I'm pretty sure that XEmacs doesn't do pbm.
