Font Selection

[Florian Beck <abstraktion@t-online.de>]

Hi,

font selection still does not seem to work as expected. CVS checkout as
of 2008-06-19:

Execute this:

emacs -Q

(create-fontset-from-fontset-spec  "-*-DejaVu Serif-medium-r-normal-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-serif")
(set-default-font "fontset-serif")

Test:

ͰͱͲͳʹ͵Ͷͷ͸͹ͺͻͼͽ;Ϳ΀΁΂΃΄΅Ά·ΈΉΊ΋Ό΍ΎΏΐΑΒΓΔΕΖΗΘΙΚΛΜΝΞΟΠΡ΢ΣΤΥΦΧΨΩΪΫάέήίΰαβγδεζηθικλμνξ

Check if set-fontset-font works for "fontset-serif":

(set-fontset-font "fontset-serif" 'greek (font-spec :family "Analecta" ))

Well, kind of. This only affects undefined characters. It *should* set
all greek characters to "Analecta" if this font defines them, should't
it? And "Analecta" *can* display these characters, eg:

(insert (propertize "Β" 'face '(:family "Analecta")))

Now test this (Kharoshthi, unicode range U+10A00 – U+10A5F   (68096–68191):

𐨀𐨁𐨂𐨃𐨄𐨅𐨆𐨇𐨈𐨉𐨊𐨋𐨌𐨍𐨎𐨏𐨐𐨑𐨒𐨓𐨔𐨕𐨖𐨗𐨘𐨙𐨚𐨛𐨜𐨝𐨞𐨟𐨠𐨡𐨢𐨣𐨤𐨥𐨦

I see only boxes, which is ok so far.

Now I set:

(set-fontset-font "fontset-serif" '(68096 . 68191) (font-spec :family "MPH 2B Damase"))

Nothing changes. I still only see only boxes. However, Emacs *can* display (most of) 
these characters with this font. Behold:

(insert (propertize "𐨀𐨁𐨂𐨃𐨄𐨅𐨆𐨇𐨈𐨉𐨊𐨋𐨌𐨍𐨎𐨏𐨐𐨑𐨒𐨓𐨔𐨕𐨖𐨗𐨘𐨙𐨚𐨛𐨜𐨝𐨞𐨟𐨠𐨡𐨢𐨣𐨤𐨥𐨦" 'face '(:family "MPH 2B Damase")))

What is going on?
