Default font Inconsolata but guillemets in STIXGeneral

Default font Inconsolata but guillemets in STIXGeneral

[Heilmann, Till A.]

I want to use Emacs 24.1 (9.0) downloaded from http://emacsformacosx.com/ with the Inconsolata font in OTF on Mac OS 10.7.4. My ~/.emacs contains only one line:

(set-face-attribute 'default nil :font "Inconsolata-16")

The font is mostly displayed correctly in the buffer (see first output of describe-char below), except for guillemets (see second output of describe-char below). Does anyone have an idea why Emacs uses STIXGeneral instead of Inconsolata to display guillemets? BTW, it messes with the line spacing too: lines with guillemets have more spacing than others.

Thanks and regards,
Till

I'm not using this but setting up the frames to use a particular font, as in:

	(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist
	  '(font . "Lucida Sans Typewriter-8"))

With this › is taken from Lucida Sans Typewriter.

Thanks, tried that. Now the single guillemets are displayed in AppleMyungjo...

Regarding my last mail: It tried this on a different machine (my work computer, not my private one) with a different OS (Mac OS X 10.6.7) but with the same build of Emacs (24.1 [9.0] from emacsforosx.com). So it seems to depend on the overall setup of the computer.

And I can also get

    nil:-apple-Symbola-medium-normal-normal-*-9-*-*-*-p-0-iso10646-1 (#x3B1)

This is quite interesting…


A certain work-around for this behaviour should be to create a fontset in which all interesting character ranges are bound to particular fonts.
