Tell any Army in the world about that theory. They should save their

A new release of bash, 4.3.42-4, has been uploaded and will soon reach a

Hi,
I have found different emails related to compiling while linking

compiled.

I ended up downloading xlsfonts, and after a little trial-and-error,
this appears to be the matching font:
-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--0-0-75-75-c-0-iso8859-1
So I have a new Emacs font, which for some reason seems smaller than
before, but it's certainly usable.
