GNU Emacs 23, Mac OS X and fonts

After several weeks, had rebuilt theл GNU Emacs from CVS and start to work with it under Mac OS X. In latest builds, use of anti-aliased fonts is disable by default, so text looks very bad :-( In mailing list i got a hint about the ns-antialias-text variable (not available via customize), that should be set to non-nil value, and than anti-aliased fonts will enabled, like in Carbon Emacs.

Small addition to sh-mode

Below is piece of code, that could be useful for all, who write shell scripts in Emacs. It provides sh-check-syntax function, that performs syntax checking (currently only for sh/bash/zsh) and navigation between errors, if they found. It's better to bind this function to some key (i use C-c l)

(defun sh-check-finish-hook (buf msg)
 "Function, that is executed at the end of sh check"
 (when (not (string-match "finished" msg))
   (next-error 1 t)))

(define-compilation-mode sh-check-mode "SH"
 "Mode for check sh source code."
 (set (make-local-variable 'compilation-disable-input) t)
 (set (make-local-variable 'compilation-scroll-output) nil)
 (set (make-local-variable 'compilation-finish-functions)
      (list 'sh-check-finish-hook))
 )

(defun sh-check-syntax ()
 "Check syntax of current file"
 (interactive)
 (when (string-match "^\\(ba\\|z\\)sh" (symbol-name sh-shell))
   (save-some-buffers t)
   (compilation-start (concat (symbol-name sh-shell) " -n " (buffer-file-name))
                      'sh-check-mode))
 )
