Hi Andrew,

I did apply a minimum subset of the patches you submitted that was 
required to eliminate all bugs reported before the date I applied the 
patch. This was done at the last minute before 22.2 was released (thus 
the reason why I tried to reduce the impact of your changes), and since 
there were no reports after 22.2 was released, this was never revisited. 
The Emacs 22 branch is effectively dead with the release of 22.3 AFAIK, 
and the font handling in Emacs 23 is completely different, so if patches 
are still required, they are likely to be completely different.
