Including statements like (set-fontset-font "fontset-11pt_adobe_courier" (cons = (decode-char =20 'ucs #x0d00) (decode-char 'ucs #x0d7f)) '("code2000" . =20 "iso10646-1")) ; Malayalam (set-fontset-font "fontset-11pt_adobe_courier" (cons = (decode-char =20 'ucs #x0d80) (decode-char 'ucs #x0dff)) '("akshar unicode" . =20 "iso10646-1")) ; Sinhala you can advise GNU Emacs to use a particular font for a particular =20 range of Unicode characters. -- Greetings Pete There's something the technicians need to learn from the artists. If =20 it isn't aesthetically pleasing, it's probably wrong.
