XFaces, smileys

XFaces, smileys

[Norbert Koch]

Hi,

I've, uhm, changed my working environment to WinNT. Now, I still would
like to see the XFace-header and smileys. This doesn't work out which
is a bad thing, sort of.

I only see xfaces, if I toggle the header, but not per default.

WRT smileys the problem begins with smiley-buffer.

1. it asks for (featurep 'x). 
   I've changed this to (or (featurep 'x) (featurep 'mswindows))

2. the translation is done now, but no glyph is displayed (what's the
   reason for that? All necessary features seem to be included). 

   The situation is even worse, since I get neither the smiley-glyph
   nor its textual representation :-(

BTW, treaty variables are set as 

(setq gnus-treat-display-smileys t
      gnus-treat-display-xface 'head)

Any hints? 
TIA, norbert.

That was your real mistake...

Using Emacs or XEmacs?

(not that I can help you...  I've never looked into windows emacs much 
(I've used it, but not much))

Right, that was the "uhm" part of the above sentence ... regard it as
a proxy for a couple of curses :-)

XEmacs, grabbed from the CVS tree.

How about using [1]:

(when (string-match "XEmacs" emacs-version)
  (add-hook 'gnus-article-display-hook 'gnus-article-display-x-face t)
  (add-hook 'gnus-article-display-hook 'gnus-smiley-display t))

Footnotes: 
[1]  You may want to look at http://superdave.socom.com/gnus/ too.

Unfortunately not, since, AFAIK, there no longer exists a
gnus-article-display-hook. This now is handled by the
gnus-article-treat variables.

Anyway, GNUS tries to display smileys, only it doesn't like the WinNT
surroundings (and who does?) ... at least, it gets into smiley-buffer.

Thanks for the pointer.

Anyhow, pgnus 0.83 is still happy with gnus-article-display-hook, so
you can try it out.

Done, but to no avail ... grmpf. I'll have to dig deeper - sigh.

  Yep, I'm getting this also since pgnus-0.84. I have
`gnus-treat-display-xface' defaulting to `head', but only see the
x-faces when toggling headers via `t'.

Uh, what OS are you running on? WinNT too?

I see this on Solaris 2.7, XEmacs 21.0.67, pgnus 0.84.  I'm using
picons also.
