    To install emacs-xft use:
    Code:
    sudo dpkg -i emacs-xft-gtk_1.0-1ubuntu1_i386_dapper.deb
    This will install emacs-xft in /usr/local and will not disturb Ubuntu's emacs installation.

    To install auctex-xft use:
    Code:
    sudo dpkg --force-overwrite -i auctex-xft_11.83-1_i386_dapper.deb
    the --force option is needed as the two packages share the same doc directory and will cause auctex-xft to just add the files to the emacs-xft doc directory. It is harmless.

    To activate auctex and latex-preview add the following lines to .emacs:
    Code:
    (require 'tex-site)
    (load "preview-latex.el" nil t t)
    regards,
    Anindya
    This is the correct link

    This is great! Thanks for the .deb files

    Note: if you execute the command above and get errors such as "dependency problems prevent configuration of emacs-xft-gtk", try executing the following command and the missing dependencies (and emacs) will be installed:

    Code:
    sudo apt-get -f install
    (And the same again, if similar errors when trying to install the auctex .deb file)

    Thanks for any help.

    EDIT: Well I managed to fix the problem by installing 'libncurses5-dev' and then recompiling emacs however I now have another problem. When starting emacs it loads the console version. Any ideas why?

    Thanks.

    The X.org development libraries are not installed by default, and this is what gets you into trouble. If you look at the results of the ./configure, you'll see a couple of "NONE" indicating that configure (rightly) doesn't find the libraries it needs to.

    I think libxt-dev and libxaw7-dev should do the trick.

    Hi guys, try this emacs deb with xft:
    http://people.freedesktop.org/~keithp/emacs-xft/
    It can really replace the emacs-snapshot-gtk in the reporsitory, that means it can work with other .el packages in the reporsitory.

    You can try to install libgtk+-dev and downgrade libcairo to proper version.

    On first glance, I thought I'd seen that before - but then I saw it was from keithp, an _extremely_ reputable source. I wonder if he has been working on the code?

    This is awesome. Anti-aliased emacs looks so good. Thanks for providing the instructions and the deb files. I used the deb files and the installation was a breeze.

    Re: HOWTO: Install GNU Emacs with antialiasing

    ok.. I guess I spoke too soon. Aparently the emacs snapshot version is not very stable. I had it running overnight and today morning it had crashed.

    I should perhaps build from source of a stable version. So the question is: does the anti-alias support exist *only* in the latest snapshot version? Or can I use a older stable version to build? Thanks.

    I am getting this error.

    emacs: Cannot open termcap database file

    Right now I use (g)vi(m) but emacs is just to ugly for me.
