Subject: set-language-environment and fonts

I'm running emacs 21.3 on Ubuntu Hoary, and have an odd problem
with accented characters.
If I evaluate (set-language-environment "Latin-9") and use, for
instance, C-x 8 'a to generate "á", it appears in a different font
(-Schumacher-Clean-Medium-R-Normal--12-120-75-75-C-60-ISO8859-15)
from the default I define in .Xdefaults, thus:
emacs*font: -B&H-LucidaTypewriter-Medium-R-Normal-Sans-14-140-75-75-M-90-ISO10646-1
If I use AltGr-a or Compose ' a to enter the character, is appears
in Lucidatypewriter. But if I save the file and re-read it, I get
the cramped Schumacher characters.
Locale is en_IE.UTF-8
I'm using set-language-environment to avoid writing multibyte
characters as LaTeX won't understand them -- is this the wrong
strategy?
Brendan
