23.0.60; fontset problems

[Peter Dyballa]

Hello!

A two months old version of GNU Emacs 23.0.60 follows this in ~/.emacs:

	(setq initial-frame-alist
	  (append (list
	    '(border-color	. "#4e3832")
	    '(foreground-color	. "grey10")
	    '(background-color	. "AliceBlue")
	;    '(background-color . "honeydew")
	    '(active-alpha	. 0.875)
	    '(inactive-alpha	. 0.75)
	    '(font . "fontset-10pt_lucidatypewriter")
	    '(top . 136) '(left . 666) '(width . 100) '(height . 57)
	  ) initial-frame-alist))
	(setq default-frame-alist
	  (append (list
	    '(cursor-type	. box)
	    '(active-alpha	. 0.875)
	    '(inactive-alpha	. 0.75)
	    '(vertical-scroll-bars . left)
	    ) default-frame-alist))
	(if (= 22 ETyp)
	    (setq default-frame-alist
	      (append (list
		'(foreground-color	. "grey10")
		'(background-color	. "alice blue")
		'(cursor-color		. "DarkGreen")
		'(top . 40) '(left . 518) '(width . 85) '(height . 45)
	    ) default-frame-alist)))
	(if (= 23 ETyp)
	    (setq default-frame-alist
	      (append (list
		'(foreground-color	. "NavyBlue")
		'(background-color	. "LightCyan")
		'(cursor-color		. "firebrick")
		'(top . 66) '(left . 636) '(width . 100) '(height . 57)
		'(font . "fontset-10pt_lucida_sans_typewriter")
	    ) default-frame-alist)))
	(set-fontset-font "fontset-default" 'gb18030 '("dejavu sans mono".  
"unicode-bmp"))
	(set-fontset-font "fontset-startup" 'gb18030 '("dejavu sans mono".  
"unicode-bmp"))

When I type M-x describe-fontset RET RET in the initial frame, the  
*Help* buffer starts with ("ETyp's value is 23"):

	Fontset: -b&h-lucida sans typewriter-medium-r-normal--10-*-*-*-*-*- 
fontset-startup
	CHAR RANGE (CODE RANGE)
	FONT NAME (REQUESTED and [OPENED])
	C-@ .. DEL

	€ .. Ÿ (#x80 .. #x9F)
	    -*-lucida sans typewriter-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1

	  .. ͯ (#xA0 .. #x36F)
	    -*-lucida sans typewriter-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1

	Ͱ .. ᷿ (#x370 .. #x1DFF)
	    -*-lucida sans typewriter-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1
		[-b&h-lucida sans typewriter-medium-r-normal--10-96-75-75-m-60- 
iso10646-1]

The elder Emacs shows:

	Fontset: -b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*- 
fontset-10pt_lucidatypewriter
	CHAR RANGE (CODE RANGE)
	    FONT NAME (REQUESTED and [OPENED])
	  .. £ (#xA0 .. #xA3)
	    -*-lucidatypewriter-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15
	¤ (#xA4)
	    -*-lucidatypewriter-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-9
	¥ (#xA5)
	    -*-lucidatypewriter-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15

Although recent Emacs knows fontset-startup it does not like the last  
line from ~/.emacs. *Messages* contains:

	error: Fontset `fontset-startup' does not exist


Then I create a new, a more default-like frame. The glyphs look  
different, the look like non-bitmap, and not anti-aliased. Now M-x  
describe-fontset RET RET reports in *Help* buffer still almost the same:

	Fontset: -b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-10-*-*-*-*-*- 
fontset-startup
	CHAR RANGE (CODE RANGE)
	    FONT NAME (REQUESTED and [OPENED])
	C-@ .. DEL
	    -*-lucidatypewriter-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
	    -*-lucidatypewriter-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1
	€ .. Ÿ (#x80 .. #x9F)
	    -*-lucidatypewriter-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1

	    -*-lucidatypewriter-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1

iso8859-1]

	    -*-lucidatypewriter-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1
		[-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-11-79-100-100-m-70- 
iso10646-1]
	Ͱ .. ೿ (#x370 .. #xCFF)
	    -*-lucidatypewriter-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1
		[-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-11-79-100-100-m-70-

	ഀ .. ൿ (#xD00 .. #xD7F)

iso10646-1]

So the font used was switched accordingly, but the names of the  
fontsets used in the recent version are not correct.

The box said "Use Windows 95 or better," so I got a Macintosh.
