6.1 Meadow doesnot display BDF font well.

We're not sure. This might be solved by updating the driver of your display card/chip. Also it is reported that lowering accelerator level helps to improve this problem. Please report.

6.2 Meadow doesnot flash screen though I wrote "(setq visible-bell t)."

It's the bug of Meadow 1.00. Already fixed in later versions.

6.3 When I start Meadow, a tall window once appears, then transforms into the specified size.

This behavior is reasonable, not a bug. Meadow creates the initial frame before reading your `.emacs'. Your settings do not take effect until Meadow reads your `.emacs'.

6.4 How do I change the fonts?

You should use the fontset mechanism to display characters other than US-ASCII in Meadow. The fontset is a collection of fonts, each assigned to handle a range of character codes. You should register fonts to the fontset to use them, automagically by the high-level API, or manually by the low-level API. See `README.Meadow' for details.

6.5 What is "face"?

Face is a mechanism used by Emacs that attaches attributes like colors or fonts to the displayed strings.

6.6 How can I make "MeadowNT -nw" fit in the visible area of the Windows NT console?

Put the following code in your `.emacs':

(setq w32-use-full-screen-buffer nil)
