The "standard fontset" (fontset-standard) is not defined on Mac OS (non-X11) builds. Instead, they have `fontset-mac' that is described as follows in the "Mac International" node: The fontset `fontset-mac' is created automatically when Emacs is run on Mac, and used by default. It displays as many kinds of characters as possible using 12-point Monaco as a base font. If you see some character as a hollow box with this fontset, then it's almost impossible to display it only by customizing font settings (*note Mac Font Specs::). So they both can display many non-ASCII characters, but they are different in the sense that `fontset-mac' is used by default but `fontset-standard' is not. If this difference can be considered to be minor, it would be possible to rename `fontset-mac' to `fontset-standard'. YAMAMOTO Mitsuharu mituharu@math.s.chiba-u.ac.jp
