 Here are the resources I use.  @strong{Warning:} @emph{This interface
 will change.  Pay attention to beta announcements, and complain loudly
 if changes aren't documented here!}  The tab control and menubar have
-separate Font and XftFont resources, and use the X resource manager to
-instantiate a FontStruct from the Font resource.  There is no converter
-facility for XftFont yet, and creating one that handles both FontStruct
-and XftFont depending on XEmacs's configuration and the font name seems
-error-prone at best.  Probably we will use a simple string
-representation for this resource, and convert to a face in XEmacs rather
-than a font in Xt/Xft.
