Japanese fonts

[Daniel Anderson]

Greetings help-gnu-emacs,

For people not familiar with japanese, this may be a bit confusing...

The issue is that the kanji character set for japanese fonts in emacs
shows up as one font, while the hiragana font shows up as another
font. The inconsistency is a bit ugly. Any one have any solutions?

Here are the properties of each in just a Fundamental mode buffer:


Kanji:
       character: 録 (37682, #o111462, #x9332)
preferred charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646))
      code point: 0x9332
          syntax: w    which means: word
        category: .:Base, C:2-byte han, c:Chinese, j:Japanese, |:line breakable
     buffer code: #xE9 #x8C #xB2
       file code: #xE9 #x8C #xB2 (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)
         display: by this font (glyph code)
   xft:-unknown-Droid Sans
Fallback-normal-normal-normal-*-15-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1 (#x4AC2)

Character code properties: customize what to show
 name: CJK IDEOGRAPH-9332
 general-category: Lo (Letter, Other)





Hiragana:

       character: お (12362, #o30112, #x304a)
preferred charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646))
      code point: 0x304A
          syntax: w    which means: word
        category:
                  .:Base, H:2-byte Hiragana, c:Chinese, h:Korean,
j:Japanese, |:line breakable
     buffer code: #xE3 #x81 #x8A
       file code: #xE3 #x81 #x8A (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)
         display: by this font (glyph code)
   xft:-unknown-TakaoPMincho-normal-normal-normal-*-15-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1
(#x238B)

Character code properties: customize what to show

 general-category: Lo (Letter, Other)





Thanks for any input!

It's annoying, I have the following in my .emacs:

(set-fontset-font ; fix japanese font
 "fontset-default" 'japanese-jisx0208
 (if (eq window-system 'x)
     "-jis-fixed-medium-r-normal--24-230-75-75-c-240-jisx0208.1983-0"
 "-outline-MS Mincho-normal-normal-normal-mono-24-*-*-*-c-*-jisx0208*-*"))

Take care,

Create a fontset in which both ranges are covered by the same font!  
You might also try to pass a --font or -fn font argument to GNU Emacs  
or set an X resource – which can a be fontset as well:

	Emacs.Fontset-0: -*-bitstream vera sans mono-medium-r-normal-*-10-*-*- 
*-*-*-fontset-10,\
		chinese-gb2312:-*-fangsong ti-medium-r-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*- 
gb2312.1980-0,\
	!        chinese-gbk:-*-fangsong ti-medium-r-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-gbk-0,\
	        unicode:-*-fangsong ti-medium-r-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1
	Emacs.font: fontset-14

Here you see also the use of character "ranges" (so-called  
"encodings"). GNU Emacs knows quite a lot of them...
