Perhaps it doesn't support more than one Latin-n set, I never tried to do something like that myself, I only ever set it for a single Latin character set. > >> Printing the same file (with the Euro) encoded in UTF-8 fails with: > >> "bdf-read-font-info: BDF file etl24-unicode.bdf doesn't exist" > > > > Well, it's quite clear what it tells you, yes? > > Sure, but I couldn't find this file neither in SuSE 9.2 or 10.0 nor on > a Debian GNU/Linux box.

Here again you are too eager to generalize, I think: a single font is missing, and already this is ``not a feasible solution''. Given that the current Emacs doesn't even support Unicode reasonably enough, isn't it a tad too much to reject a package that covers most other character sets? > >> Printing the Thai example text from HELLO produces a PS file, but gs > >> can't display the PS file (as in my previous mail): > > > > So gs also has problems, or so it seems. > > Possible. Or the created PS file is invalid. I have a PostScript printer. If you really want to know which one of these possibilities is true, send me the PS file and I will look.
