I usually run Emacs with `emacs -nw' inside xterm windows. The Emacs manual has a section on `Fontsets', which may be of some help. You can reach this section by typing: C-h r m Fontsets RET If I am reading this section correctly, and you are running Emacs in X11, you can add something like the following to your `~/.Xresources' file: Emacs*font: fontset-standard Then you can 'refresh' the X11 resource list by opening a shell window, and typing: bash$ xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources After this has completed successfully, new Emacs windows will use the correct fontset.
