Emacs 21.3 expects to see a Latin-1 font for the default font. You can work around this by creating a fontset based on that font: (setq my-font (create-fontset-from-ascii-font "BROKEN_FONT_NAME")) (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist `(font . ,myfont)) Since that font appears to have been converted from an X font by some conversion program, perhaps you could find out who wrote the conversion program and contact them about writing a valid character set entry in the fonts they are producing.
