How to get anti-aliased fonts working in Emacs

(the following basically lifted from http://peadrop.com/blog/2007/01/06/pretty-emacs/

basic steps:

1. wget -quiet http://debs.peadrop.com/DD385D79.gpg -O  | sudo apt-key add -

2. add to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://debs.peadrop.com dapper backports

deb-src http://debs.peadrop.com dapper backports

3. sudo apt-get update

4. sudo apt-get install emacs-snapshot-gtk emacs-snapshot-el

add to .emacs:

(set-default-font "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-14")

YAML mode ¶

(require ‘yaml-mode)

(setq auto-mode-alist (append ‘((”\\.yml$” . yaml-mode)

("\\.yaml$" . yaml-mode))))

Camel Case? ¶

download http://www.cs.ucf.edu/~leavens/emacs/camelCase/camelCase-mode.el

;;;

;;; camelCase

;;;

(autoload ‘camelCase-mode “camelCase-mode” nil t)

(add-hook ‘find-file-hook ‘(lambda () (camelCase-mode 1))) ; all files. (all buffers?)

Emacs-on-Rails ¶

http://dima-exe.ru/rails-on-emacs

cd .elisp

svn checkout svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/emacs-rails/trunk rails

wget http://www.kazmier.com/computer/snippet.el

wget http://www.webweavertech.com/ovidiu/emacs/find-recursive.txt -O find-recursive.el

wget http://svn.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/trunk/misc/inf-ruby.el?view=co -O inf-ruby.el

then add to .emacs:

;;;

;;; emacs ruby on rails mode

;;;

(setq load-path (cons ”~/.elisp/rails” load-path))

(require ‘rails)

(add-hook ‘ruby-mode-hook ‘(lambda () (menu-bar-mode 1)))
