multi-depth X-Face w/ XEmacs?

multi-depth X-Face w/ XEmacs?

[Jason R. Mastaler]

Is anyone using XEmacs able to view Lars' multi-depth X-Faces?
When I visit such an article I can tell some extra processing is going
on, but in the end no X-Face shows up.  What is required to see them?

In Lars' m34rlozrrj.fsf@quimbies.gnus.org, I see it:

As to what it took to see it...I don't know.  I've got uncompface
installed; that's all I had believed was needed.

But I don't know how to make such a face myself.

It seems gnus-fun.el is using lots of shell commands to accomplish
this.  I seem to have all the necessary programs installed (compface,
uncompface, pbmtoxbm, etc.) yet something is still wrong.

Perhaps the code makes some assumptions that apply to Linux only.  I
say this because for for example, my compface won't accept an XBM file
without it passing through `xbm2ikon' first.  Thus, functions like
`gnus-convert-image-to-x-face-command' don't work quite right on this
FreeBSD system.  e.g,

$ giftopnm bobby_head2.gif | ppmnorm 2>/dev/null | pnmscale -width 48 -height 48 | ppmtopgm | pgmtopbm | pbmtoxbm | compface
compface: (warning) <stdin>: excess data ignored

Ah, thanks.  I guess it is something Debian specific.  I'm on 
RedHat.  The compface project on freshmeat doesn't seem to 
understand the format either.

The patch is/was distributed with the exmh source (but originally came
from elsewhere, I think.  But it was a long time ago...).  I'm
guessing that's where Debian got it from.  It adds a -X option that
enables xbm input or output.

It works fine here on NetBSD 1.5.2.

As far as I'm aware, it should work "out of the box", providing you
can see normal X-Faces and you have a recent enough Gnus.  If you
haven't updated for a couple of weeks, do so.

Nope.  I can see normal X-Faces fine, and my Gnus is bleeding edge.

I've upgraded several times during the past week.  No dice.
