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?

?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.

[Warning: I don't know anything about MacOS X. Wild guesses below.]

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?
