By ,---- | M-x describe-input-method RET rfc1345 RET `---- I get the full list of RFC1345 mnemonics. On W2k almost all glyphs (aside from a couple of octal sequences) are displayed. On XP, however, I get a lot of blank boxes there, just as if all those glyphs were not included in the font. Both Emacsen have identical settings and I did not make any changes to the font variables ('fixed-pitch' points to Family:Monospace). I really think this problem is due to the underlying platform or settings of the same rather than an Emacs bug. But I have no clue where to begin my search. Can anyone give me some direction how to track down this problem? Could the system fonts in W2k be more complete than they are in XP? I can hardly believe. -- Uwe
