What operating system and GUI toolkit are you using? One of the major improvements in Emacs 23 (currently in development/pretest) is better support for fonts and Unicode on Un*x-like/X11 systems. I have been unable to get good fonts working well in Emacs 22, but with Emacs 23 pretest/snapshot I find DejaVu Sans Mono to be highly readable (and I believe that it has fairly good Unicode coverage). - Michael -- mouse, n: A device for pointing at the xterm in which you want to type.
