Thanks for the affirmation!
I'm an occasional emacs user but every time i come back to use it i
found some aspect that buffles me a littile. This time it was the
font-face relation.
I was reading the emacswiki page i mentioned in my previous email trying
to figure things out.
ps: for the extroneous characters . i use thuderbird , maybe its the
copy paste from emacswiki that wasnt done neatle?
