20.1-b5 compiled successfully from "full" distribution for Solaris
2.5.1, gcc 2.7.2.

The new splash screen is really cool!

The new customize faces is pretty cool, but it is incredibly slow.  On
my Hyper sparc, it takes a minute or two to get the list of fonts.
Then clicking on any entry takes tens of seconds for the attributes to
show.  

Don't people find this annoyingly slow?  I would hate to use this on a
486/66!  

Another point:  How do I set a font family?  Clicking on that
attribute does nothing.  Alternatively, how can I get xemacs to always
use adobe-courier-medium-O instead of adobe-courier-medium-I?  The -i
version is really ugly because that is a type-1 font which isn't
rendered very well.

Because of it's lack of speed, I prefer the old edit-faces method
which was fast and easy to change.
