Of course it is. The Carbon Emacs code is a development version of Emacs. If he keeps his discussion here, at best he'll end up with some workaround in his .emacs and the next upcoming release will still require other people to use the same workaround. A development version, contrary to a released version, is a malleable thing where problems can be fixed rather than worked around. There doesn't seem to be any good reason why a user should do anything special under Carbon Emacs to use the mac-roman encoding/fonts if it's the default in the system. So maybe the defaults under Carbon Emacs should be changed accordingly. Stefan
