[Richard Stallman]

Can you investigate this and explain the problem
so someone else can write a fix?

I don't know whether there's a reasonable solution, but the fontset
definitions in 21.2/3 give bad results in XFree 4.1 (Debian testing),
at least.

First, fontset-standard now gets me sony-fixed (a fairly nasty serifed
font) for ascii and latin-1.  It (and fontset-default) also gets
useless iso-10646 fonts to display mule-unicode characters; XFree 4.1
has most of its fonts recoded to 10646 with a repertoire which
typically only covers a subset of Latin.

For general 10646 coverage (including the technical symbols I want),
only gnu-unifont fits the bill as far as I know, so perhaps that
should be named explicitly.
