[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi all,

I was looking at this request[1] and it occurred to me that the value of
`LaTeX-math-menu-unicode' doesn't cater for macOS.  So the math-menu
currently looks like this:

[emacs-Q.png (image/png, inline)]

[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

where it can look liket this:

[emacs-patched.png (image/png, inline)]

[Message part 5 (text/plain, inline)]

So I'd like to install the following change:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
diff --git a/latex.el b/latex.el
index da202219..cfd7ee5c 100644
--- a/latex.el
+++ b/latex.el

-      (eq window-system 'w32))

   "Whether the LaTeX menu should try using Unicode for effect."
   :type 'boolean
   :group 'LaTeX-math)

Any comments?

Best, Arash

Maybe we should use `system-type' instead of `window-system', because
`window-system' is terminal-local variable. Users can launch an emacs
session with -nw option, do `server-start' and attach a graphical frame
to that session by "emacsclient -c" afterwards. If the `defcustom' was
evaluated in terminal frame, unicode characters wouldn't appear in the
menu in graphical frame due to `LaTeX-math-menu-unicode' being nil.

Thanks for your response.  Then the patch would look like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
diff --git a/latex.el b/latex.el
index da202219..1fa7cc2f 100644
--- a/latex.el

   :type 'boolean
   :group 'LaTeX-math)

Or is there another reliable way to check for GTK?  As an upside, the
math menu looks like this in terminal:
