Is this still true? But be careful not to specify a fontset name in a wildcard resource like @samp{Emacs*Font}---that wildcard specification matches various other resources, such as for menus, and menus cannot handle fontsets. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 3. Is this still true? Note particularly that you probably want to ensure that your initialization files are read as unibyte if they contain non-@acronym{ASCII} characters.
