OK, you can change it in Emacs too, but not so easily or elegantly. Font
handling is something Xemacs is actually good at. I type in Chinese
sometimes, and the Chinese fonts look terrible in Emacs, but are quite
acceptable in Xemacs.

OK, you've got me there.

Now I have a question. Does anyone know why in text mode, M-<
(beginning-of-buffer) and M-> (end-of-buffer) don't work? They work fine
in text mode in some other distros, but not in Debian or Slackware. In
X, they always work in every distro (Debian and Slackware included).

regards,
Robert
