Hello
Using GNU Emacs 24.3, I usually use
(set-face-font 'default "-etl-*-bold-*-*-*-*-180-*-*-*-*-ISO8859-8") for
hebrew.
However I have also the ttf font Guttman Yad-Brush, which is a
handwritten based hebrew font, without really ASCII support.
So when I use
(set-face-font 'default "Guttman Yad-Brush")
then this font is activated, Hebrew chars are displayed correctly but
all other ASCII symbols save numbers are not (I see empty boxes instead)
*However* when I want my standard courier font back via
(set-face-font 'default "-*-courier-bold-r-*-*-18-180-*-*-*-*-*-*")
Then this does not work, the empty boxes remain.
Is this a bug?

Next time you think you may have found a bug, make a bug report.
The development list is not the bug reporting list, and asking "is this
a bug" first doesn't save anyone any work.

I asked whether it is a bug or a missing feature, in which case a bug
report does not make much sense and whether it is a missing feature or a
bug, I presume, can be best answered in the development list.[1]
Footnotes:
[1] I googled around before asking but did not find a clear answer.

It seems to be a bug. What is the output of C-u C-x = when
you put cursor on an ascii character shown by an empty box?
