Sorry, I think my original mail did not make it into the mailing list. Here it is again. Hi John, I am using version 0.99.19 that I compiled myself: ============================================================= ~> xjed --version jed version: 0.99.19/Unix Compiled with GNU C 13.2 S-Lang version: 2.3.3 jed compile-time options: +LINE_ATTRIBUTES +BUFFER_LOCAL_VARS +SAVE_NARROW +TTY_MENUS +EMACS_LOCKING +MULTICLICK +SUBPROCESSES +DFA_SYNTAX +ABBREVS +COLOR_COLUMNS +LINE_MARKS +GPM_MOUSE +IMPORT Using JED_ROOT=/usr/local/jed ================================================================ However, the exact same problem exists also in the AUR package of jed. Strangely, on another machine that runs manjaro I don't seem to have this problem - but I don't understand why - on the surface they all up-to-date and use the same libraries . I tried what you have suggested -- all three commands give the same effect of fonts taking two places. I attach a screenshot to this email (I hope it is allowed in this mailing list). Thanks, I.
