The main trigger was a report by Dan Nicolaescu about a better way to support color xterm and other similar tty-like devices. With the new system, org-mode should look in color terminal windows almost exactly like it does in an x-window system. Doing this I realized that the fonts used by org-mode on color-poor terminals were really very bad, because I had simply copied the normal font-lock-faces. For a full-color terminal I had taylored things to look well, but a b/w terminal looks just awful. This should be *much* better now. It would be great of some of you could try the new version on as many as possible different platforms: XEmacs and Emacs, under X11, MS Windows, console terminals, you name it. I would like to know if the fontification is useful and reasonable in all cases or if there are changes to be made. The test version (4.24a) is here: http://www.astro.uva.nl/~dominik/public_html/org/org-testfaces.zip Thanks! - Carsten -- Carsten Dominik Sterrenkundig Instituut "Anton Pannekoek" Universiteit van Amsterdam Kruislaan 403 NL-1098SJ Amsterdam phone: +31 20 525 7477
