Here is how I went about building a version of Emacs that has XFT support on Ubuntu 6.06.
Install the latest GTK Emacs snapshot:
sudo apt-get install emacs-snapshot-gtk
Check out the emacs-unicode-2 branch into /opt:
cd /opt
sudo cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co -remacs-unicode-2 emacs
Configure and build:
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-font-backend --with-xft --with-freetype --with-gtk --x-includes=/usr/include/X11 --x-libraries=/usr/lib/X11
sudo make bootstrap
sudo make
Update /etc/alternatives to point to the new binary:
sudo rm /etc/alternatives/emacs
sudo ln -s /opt/emacs/src/emacs /etc/alternatives/emacs

gtzCode is a Firefox extension that makes it easy to enter markup used by the GameTZ forums. This extension is based (i.e. copied from) on MLL’s last.fmCode extension, which is in turn based on BBCodeXtra.
This extension shares the same limitation as last.fmCode. You can’t have BBCodeXtra (or last.fmCode) installed at the same time.
This is alpha software. It works for me on Firefox 1.5/2.0 under Linux and Mac OS. I’m not responsible if it destroys your computer.
Released under the GPLv2.
Thanks to bob for the idea and pointer to last.fmCode.
Download latest (0.5):
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/3190/
Changelog:
Version 0.5:
- Support for Firefox 2.0
- Fixed user tag
Version 0.4:
- Added support for game, movie, music, book and tracking tags
- Reorganized the menu
- Packaged content up in a jar (saved around 10k! Yipee!)
- Some code cleanup
