The Emacs display engine isn't advanced enough that, for instance, tables can comfortably use differntly-sized faces.)

I could, but then I didn't really see much sense in having these (and only these) be configurable. The Emacs display engine is way too weak to deal with fonts of differing sizes in general. If you increase the size of h1, for instance, it won't get filled properly, in addition to the fore-mentioned table problems. So I'm not sure having them being customisable is a good thing, because users will set them and then they will complain about how ugly some things look. > Currently, I read some posts with a lot of h[3-6] headings, and I am not > able to distinguish them (my font does not have italic, so h3 is like > h[4-6]), which is totally uncomfortable. Couldn't you install a font with italics? :-) By the way, I just noticed that the font I'm using on this machine ("Inconsolata:pixelsize=27") doesn't seem to have italics, either.. Anybody know how to fix that? I think the font itself should have italics, but Emacs doesn't display them... -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
