Hi
I managed to narrow down the problem, i think.
In my ~/.xemacs/custom.el i have the statement:
(custom-set-variables
'(c-basic-offset 4)
'(column-number-mode t)
'(font-lock-mode t nil (font-lock))
'(indent-tabs-mode nil)
'(line-number-mode t)
'(truncate-lines t))
if i omit the "font-lock-mode" entry:
(custom-set-variables
'(c-basic-offset 4)
'(column-number-mode t)
'(indent-tabs-mode nil)
'(line-number-mode t)
'(truncate-lines t))
then the crash does not occur anymore.
Furthermore, i have the following statement in my custom.el:
(custom-set-faces
'(default ((t (:background "snow2" :size "11pt" :family "Fixed"))) t)
'(bg:snow2 ((t (:foreground "light gray" :background "light gray"))) t))
With this statement, i get a proportional font, and the "Font" and "Font Size" items of "Options" are disabled ("cannot parse current font").
If i comment out this statement, the font is non-proportional, and the "Font" option has dozens of fonts (most of them disabled, only 4 items named "Lucida Mono" have green diamonds but they cannot be unchecked).
Unfortunately, syntax coloring does not happen. I suspect it has to do something the "font-lock-mode" statement.
So i would say there are two issues: the first being the "font-lock-mode" problem, the second one being a bad definition of the default font (which influences the entire list of fonts)
