. libxpm for XPM: ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/libraries/
Get version 3.4k or later, which lets Emacs
use its own color allocation functions.
- . libpng for PNG: ftp://www.libpng.org/pub/png/
- . libz (for PNG): http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/zlib/

. libjpeg for JPEG: ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/
Get version 6b -- 6a is reported to fail in
Emacs.

Ensure you get version 4.1.0b1 or higher of libungif -- a bug in
4.1.0 can crash Emacs.
* Extra fonts
-At first, Emacs does not include fonts and does not install them. You
-must do this yourself.
+The Emacs distribution does not include fonts and does not install
+them. You must do that yourself.
To take proper advantage of Emacs 21's mule-unicode charsets, you need
a suitable font. For `Unicode' (ISO 10646) fonts for X, see
-<URL:http://dvdeug.dhis.org/unifont.html> (packaged in Debian),
+<URL:http://czyborra.com/unifont/> (packaged in Debian),
<URL:http://openlab.ring.gr.jp/efont/> (packaged in Debian). (In
recent Debian versions, there is an extensive `misc-fixed' iso10646-1
in the default X installation.) Perhaps also see
<URL:http://czyborra.com/charsets/> has basic fonts for Emacs's
ISO-8859 charsets.
-XFree86 release 4 (from <URL:ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/> and mirrors)
+XFree86 release 4 (from <URL:ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/> and mirrors)
contains font support for most, if not all, of the charsets that Emacs
currently supports, including iso10646-1 encoded fonts for use with
the mule-unicode charsets. The font files should also be usable with
with minimal character repertoires, which can cause problems -- see
etc/PROBLEMS.
-BDF fonts etl-unicode.tar.gz used by ps-print and ps-mule to print
-Unicode characters are available from <URL:ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/fonts/>
-and <URL:ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/X.Org/contrib/fonts/>.
+BDF Unicode fonts etl-unicode.tar.gz are available from
+<URL:ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/fonts/> and
+<URL:ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/mirror/X.Org/contrib/fonts/>. These
+fonts can also be used by ps-print and ps-mule to print Unicode
+characters.

+Finally, the Web pages <URL:http://www.nongnu.org/freefont/index.html>
+and <URL:http://www.nongnu.org/freefont/resources.html> list a large
+number of free Unicode fonts.
* GNU/Linux development packages
To get more attractive menus, you can specify an X toolkit when you
configure Emacs; use the option `--with-x-toolkit=TOOLKIT', where
-TOOLKIT is `athena', `motif' or `gtk' (`yes' and `lucid' are synonyms for
-`athena'). On some systems, it does not work to use a toolkit with
-shared libraries. A free implementation of Motif, called LessTif, is
-available ftom <http://www.lesstif.org>. Compiling with LessTif or
-Motif causes a standard File Selection Dialog to pop up when you type
-"C-x C-f" and similar commands. You can get fancy 3D-style scroll
-bars, even without LessTif/Motif, if you have the Xaw3d library
-installed (see "Image support libraries" above for Xaw3d

availability).
If `--with-x-toolkit=gtk' is specified, you can tell configure where
to search for GTK by specifying `--with-pkg-config-prog=PATH' where
-PATH is the pathname to pkg-config. Note that GTK version 2.0 or
+PATH is the pathname to pkg-config. Note that GTK version 2.4 or
newer is required for Emacs.
The `--with-gcc' option specifies that the build process should
