Bug? Read Another F' Manual? Compilcated? I don't know anymore. 1. Recently I tried to display as much of HELLO as possible. So i looked up the character ranges at unicode.org, searched for the recommended fonts and set =C2=BBset-fontset-font=C2=AB. This works quite well for ; Hebrew =D7=A9=D7=9C=D7=95=D7=9D (set-fontset-font "fontset-default" '(1424 . 1535)=20=20=20 "-unknown-Code2000-medium-r-normal--16-*-*-*-*-*-unicode-bmp") but not for ; Devanagari =E0=A4=A8=E0=A4=AE=E0=A4=B8=E0=A5=8D=E0=A4=A4=E0=A5=87, =E0=A4= =A8=E0=A4=AE=E0=A4=B8=E0=A5=8D=E0=A4=95=E0=A4=BE,=20 (set-fontset-font "fontset-default" '(2304 . 2431)=20=20=20 "-unknown-Code2000-medium-r-normal--16-*-*-*-*-*-unicode-bmp") though I am pretty sure the font can display devanagari characters. I a bit at a loss here. Am I doing something wrong or are my fonts at fault after all? 2. How do I find out about the possible fonts-specs?=20 I build the above more or less by trial and error and examining my font cache. The funny thing is, =C2=BBxlsfonts=C2=AB or =C2=BBxfontsel=C2=AB do = not show the fonts in which I am interested (eg Code2000, SimSun, Arial Unicode). 3. I can set frame specific fonts. This works ok. Can I show different fonts in *windows*? If not, as I fear, can I at least have different font sizes in different windows, e.g. small fonts in *Help* windows? --=20 Florian Beck
