Hello.
I've spent last two days struggling to get cyrillic fonts work along 
with normal east european character set. Could anyone help me?

My problem is as follows:

I use Emacs 22.2.1.
I use latin fonts with polish diacritic characters with unicode 
encoding. These characters are also covered by latin-8859-2 character 
set.
This works without any problems.

However, when I change the keyboard type to russian and try to type 
cyrillic, I get empty boxes instead of characters meaning no font was 
found.

I have cyrillic fonts, but they do not have the polish diacritic signs.

I tried to define a fontset using .Xdefaults:

emacs.fontset-0: 
-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--14-100-100-100-m-90-fontset-rosja,\
 mule-unicode-0100-24ff:-cronyx-courier-medium-r-normal-*-14-100-100-100-m-*-koi8-*

This makes latin ascii characters use adobe courier and those in 
0100-24ff range use the cyrillic font. However, polish diacritic signs 
also fall in this range, and fonts representing them are not present in 
cyrillic fonts!

How can I deal with that? I'd like mule-unicode-0100-24ff category 
Cyrillic use the cyrillic fonts, but mule-unicode-0100-24ff category 
Latin use normal latin font. How can I achieve this?

Please note in other apps I can mix Latin with polish diacritics with 
cyrillic characters without problems (also in vim :-( )

Thank You for any pointers!
