Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list, and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group. In GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2002-05-29 on camaro configured using `configure --prefix=3D/tmp/e212 --with-xpm --with-jpeg --= with-tiff --with-gif --with-png --with-x' Important settings: value of $LC_ALL: nil value of $LC_COLLATE: POSIX value of $LC_CTYPE: nil value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil value of $LC_MONETARY: nil value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil value of $LC_TIME: nil value of $LANG: en_US locale-coding-system: iso-latin-1 default-enable-multibyte-characters: t Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: Starting Emacs21.2 with --no-site-file -q, and using=20 (make-frame '((name . "abc"))) gives an error: (error Font `fontset-16' is not defined) Using "123" instead of "abc" gives the same error. However, using a string of only accented characters in iso-8859-1 succeeds! Using a string of traditional Chinese characters succeeds! Using a string of a mixture characters from the following scripts also works: traditional Chinese, Thai, Tibetan, Korean Hangul, Japanese Hiragana and Katakana. Mixing in ASCII (yes, the 7-bit subset of iso-8859-1) letters sometimes works, but usually results in that error. I discovered this when trying to use ediff, whose control frame failed to open because of this problem. Changing ediff-ediff-control-frame-parameters so that the "name" parameter does not contain any ASCII characters can work around this bug.
