Font (?) problems with qgnus and 20.4

Font (?) problems with qgnus and 20.4

[Stefan Waldherr]

Hi,

just for fun I installed the XEmacs 20.4 rpm today, fired it up and started
gnus. Everything seemed to run just fine, except that my *Group* buffer now
looks like this

* *: * *
* *: * *
**    *:  *                                                                (*)
**    *:  *                                                                (*)
**    *:  *                                                                (*)
**    *:  *                                                                (*)

... instead of 

 0: Gnus 
   0: Mail 
      0:  nndraft:drafts                                                   (1)
*     0:  nnml:inbox                                                       (2)
      0:  nnml:outbox                                                      (2)
      0:  nnml:swa                                                         (2)

Any idea who could be the culprit here? I noticed that the *Summary* buffer is
hosed as well, *Article* on the other hand seems to be fine. I tried messing
with fonts and colors but to no avail.

Thanks,
Stefan.

What is your `gnus-group-line-format' variable?

gnus-group-line-format's value is "%M%S%5y:  %(%-65,65g%)(%L)\n"
  -- a variable declared in Lisp.

Interesting is that when I removed all references to qgnus 0.34 from my .emacs
and used the default gnus 5.5, the buffers just looked fine.

Thanks,
Stefan.

I found out that gnus was not the culprit -- XEmacs is. I compiled gnus with
19.16 and tried to run it with 20.4. Apparently, this screwed up gnus' fonts.
Recompiling everything with 20.4 fixed the problem.
