Well thanks, but I don't think the advice is that old. Viz: >From the INSTALL file of emacs 23.1: : * intlfonts-VERSION.tar.gz : The intlfonts distribution contains X11 fonts in various encodings : that Emacs can use to display international characters. If you see a : non-ASCII character appear as a hollow box, that means you don't have : a font for it. You might find one in the intlfonts distribution. If : you do have a font for a non-ASCII character, but some characters : don't look right, or appear improperly aligned, a font from the : intlfonts distribution might look better. : The fonts in the intlfonts distribution are also used by the ps-print : package for printing international characters. The file : lisp/ps-mule.el defines the *.bdf font files required for printing : each character set. : The intlfonts distribution contains its own installation instructions, : in the intlfonts/README file. >From the README file of intlfonts-1.2.1: : 1.2 Inform your X server about the new fonts : The step 1.1 converts fonts to a format that X server can read (PCF : format) and put them in proper directory. But, you still have to : inform your X server about the new fonts. : If $INSTDIR is already in your font path (please check it by the : command `xset q'), you can tell X server to update font hash table by: : $ xset fp rehash : If $INSTDIR is not yet in your font path, you can tell one X session : to use the installed fonts with: : % xset +fp $INSTDIR : On some systems, you may have to give absolute pathname to the command : `xset'. Again, my system has no 'xset' command! I guess I will try compiling the 23.1, but I have already installed all of the korean fonts available through my package manager, and so I don't know why it would suddenly start working with a slightly updated emacs.=20 Scott Swanson
