Fonts For 21.1.30 On Mac OSX?

Fonts For 21.1.30 On Mac OSX?

[Edward Dodge]

From what I can see with "M-x list-fontsets,"  I only have one font...

OUTPUT:
___________
Fontset: -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-default
Fontset: -etl-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-mac

I found some fonts at:

http://members.shaw.ca/akochoi-emacs/Resources/GNU-Fonts.smi.bin

But there are no instructions on how to install them or change to them.  Anyone know?

You can find out how to install fonts on Mac OS X by searching for
`installing fonts' in the Help Center.

Font sets are not the same as fonts.  Information about font sets can
be found in the Emacs manual.  To list all the /fonts/ you can use,
evaluate the expression

  (x-list-fonts "*").

To evaluate an expression, one way is to type it into the *scratch*
buffer and then type C-j.  If you can't see all of the fonts, first
evaluate the expression

  (setq eval-expression-print-length 100).

Another way to see all your fonts is to type `M-x set-frame-font RET'
and type TAB when prompted for a `Font name: '.  Of course choosing a
font here will set the font for the current frame.

To make this font setting `permanent', read about default-frame-alist
and initial-frame-alist in the Emacs on-line manual.

Also, if it is possible, please use the version of Emacs in the CVS
repository instead of the older version in the subject line.

Unicode Fonts For Emacs21 On Mac OSX?

[Jacobo Myerston]

?I wonder if there is a way to display unicode character in emacs21 on 
Mac OSX. Actually it is possible in the XFree86 enviroment with the help 
of Mule and the ucsfonts. But so far as I now the ucsfonts are not yet 
ported for OSX.
It is possible to use unicode apple fonts like times with emacs21. But I 
don't know if the mac-roman encoding can conflict with the unicode encoding.

So this is big issue now, because I was working with ancient greek texts 
in emacs-20.7 until I updated to 21.

I would appraciated any help

regards

Jacobo

I already installed the GNU-Fonts; they support modern greek, but not 
ancient greek.

I don't know if the GNU intlfonts package works on MacOS X. At least
those fonts contain the necessary greek characters with combined
diacritics. I use misc-fixed for classical Greek on GNU/Linux.

But I wonder: why should it be a problem to use the true type fonts?
At least on GNU/Linux under XFree there is no problem with this
AFAICS. Have you tried it?

BTW: There is a Unicode Times font containing Greek characters with
combined diacritics? I ask, because I find misc-fixed somewhat
ugly. Is there a Unicode Courier font, too?
