Their foundry is "[Mm]isc" (not determined,= could be X Consortium/X.Org), their family name is the same: "[Ff]ixed". T= heir weight is also the same, normal is medium. What makes a difference is= the value of "ja" (for Japanese) in the field for additional typographic s= tyles. This makes sense in combination with the ISO 10646-1 (or Unicode) fo= nt encoding. It is possible that this setting, "ja", reserves a bit too big= cells for the characters, cells into which Japanese could fit (which a bit= bigger than those for Latin scripts). The setting for average width (120 v= s. 80, i.e. wide vs. compact) confirms this. GNU Emacs 24.x seems to love J= apanese=85 What I don't understand is this font change (in this case in terms of typographic style) happens only in the mode-line faces. To make it clear again, I use that font successfully elsewhere (e.g. in the `default' face). Francesco
