Font problem with NTEmacs 21

Font problem with NTEmacs 21

[Pascal Quesseveur]

Hello,

I recently upgraded from NTemacs 20.5 to 21.2. I was using a Windows
fixed font build from X11 6x13 (with an Exceed tool. That fontlooked
fine with 20.5. Emacs 21 doesn't support that font as well as before:
encoding is seen as #33 (the font is latin iso8859). I have tried
another way to build 6x13 font from pcf, and again the encoding seen
by emacs is not the expected one. 

I decided to chek a fixed OpenType font and I selected Andale. The
result doesn't look very good: the text seems to be very expanded. I
tried several width: normal, condensed, semi-condensed, ... and the
result is always the same. I have set cygwin rxvt to use that font
with height 12: the result is as condensed as 6x13 under X11.

Is there a way to set the font width for outline fonts under NT? Or,
is there a way to use an iso8859 fixed font?

Others will probably have better solutions for you, but here is a
setup similar to the one that I use:

- Add this statement to your .emacs to use 6x13 for ASCII and Latin-1:

  (let ((fontset (create-fontset-from-ascii-font "-*-6x13-*-*")))
    (set-fontset-font fontset 'latin-iso8859-1 "-*-6x13-*-*")
    (set-default-font fontset))

- Optionally, in the registry key
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GNU\Emacs (or
  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GNU\Emacs) add a string value
  "Emacs.font" with the value "-*-6x13-*-*".  This makes Emacs
  basically aware of the font setting even before it evaluates .emacs.
  So the first frame is created with the right font from the start.


Hope this helps, benny

That's OK. Thank you.
But what about controling the width for outline fonts?

I am not aware of such a feature.
