** Creating xpm images from fonts
To create/recreate all the xpm images for the font images, you can
run =M-x mode-icons--convert-all-font-icons-to-xpm=.
This requires a working =gimp= installation, and all the fonts for the
icons installed. This will start an inferior scheme process for
=gimp= in =*mode-icons-gimp*= and convert all the images to xpm files.
After the images are created, you can stop the =gimp= process by
typing:
=M-x mode-icons--stop-gimp-inferior=
This should be stopped evetually if there is no input received to gimp.
