Micha -
 
create a list of fonts and bind a function to a key so that you can sc= roll
through them.  I like fixed width fonts for programming, but I re= ad e-mail in
Emacs in other languages, so I need Unicode fonts that work well with = those,
also.
 
1) Use setq to create a list and an index in your .emacs
2) Next, create a function that sets font 'list[index]' using `set-fra= me-font'
3) Bind your new home-made function to a convenient key combo, and you= can
change fonts on the fly
