The documentation didn't > really help me there... (and my tries were worthless) No, the font itself uses mac-roman encoding, so you'd have to change the font-data itself. Emacs happily uses fonts with mac-roman encodings, so there's no reason to make such a change. The problem is most likely elsewhere. E.g. that your files are read as if they were encoded in "mac-roman" whereas they're encoded in "latin-1" (or vice-versa). Check buffer-file-coding-system and default-buffer-file-coding-system. Stefan
