Here is the output - ~ $ dict exemple 1 definition found >>From French-English Freedict dictionary [fd-fra-eng]: exemple [ɛgzãpl] example It also fails when run in xterm or gnome-terminal BUT it does display correctly in uxterm (Xterm Unicode). Also, I can see the IPA character set with the command "xfd -fn -etl-*-*-*". I am running Emacs 21.2.1 on Debian/GNU Linux testing distribution. C-u C-x = reports the following on the first character after "exemple [" - character: É (04311, 2249, 0x8c9) charset: latin-iso8859-1 (Right-Hand Part of Latin Alphabet 1 (ISO/IEC 8859-1): ISO-IR-100) code point: 73 syntax: word category: l:Latin buffer code: 0x81 0xC9 file code: not encodable by coding system nil font: -Adobe-Courier-Medium-R-Normal--17-120-100-100-M-100-ISO8859-1 and on the second character after "exemple [" - character: › (0233, 155, 0x9b) charset: eight-bit-control (8-bit control code (0x80..0x9F)) code point: 155 syntax: whitespace category: buffer code: 0x9B file code: not encodable by coding system nil font: -Adobe-Courier-Medium-R-Normal--17-120-100-100-M-100-ISO8859-1g I have tried creating a fontset, but the documentation wasn't very clear to me. Could any give me examples or suggestions? Shane
