[ILUG] Fonts in Xemacs

I found that this was due to a problem with xemacs seeing scaled fonts, versus
bitmap fonts.  (I'm using xemacs 21.1 patch 7.)

Putting

  (setq-default font-menu-ignore-scaled-fonts nil) ;t)

in my .xemacs-options (or via the Options tree of choices, but I forget which
one directly modifies this) appears to solve it.  I also added

  (setq-default font-menu-this-frame-only-p t)

for sanity's sake, tho you may choose differently.

Hope this helps,
B
