Chris, Dave, The problem described in Debian bug report #385240 can be reproduced using the following one-line XML document as a minimal test case.
<foo> </foo> If I open that file in nXML mode, the following error message is emitted and nXML fails to fontify the buffer contents -- Internal nXML mode error in nxml-fontify (Cannot open load file /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/nxml-mode/char-name/unicode/1D400-1D7FF) The cause appears to be the following patch that Dave submitted for bug #340637 and that was applied and released in the nxml-mode 20041004-6 package. --- nxml-mode-20041004.orig/rng-auto.el +++ nxml-mode-20041004/rng-auto.el @@ -56,8 +56,7 @@ (let* ((dir (file-name-directory load-file-name)) (schema-dir (concat dir "schema/"))) - (unless (member dir load-path) - (setq load-path (cons dir load-path))) + (add-to-list 'load-path dir 'append) (setq rng-schema-locating-files-default (list "schemas.xml" (abbreviate-file-name I hope that change can either be refined/fixed or backed out and that a new version of the package can be released soon. And in the mean time, I wonder if bug #385240 maybe should be moved to Serious or Important -- because as far as I can see, it breaks nxml fontification in any XML file that contains character references. --Mike -- Michael(tm) Smith http://people.w3.org/mike/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
