There is no connection between the font you've chosen and the encoding = issue. If a font is missing the glyphs for characters used in some = (exotic?) encoding, then replacement characters, open boxes, are used = for them. The mode-line of a buffer contains in the left corner an indicator for = the encoding used. GNU Emacs learns from environment variables which encoding to use or to = prefer, for example LANG or LC_CTYPE. Try to set these! Then you won't = need to set anything in GNU Emacs. You could check GNU Emacs' behaviour when you launch it with -q or -Q = and when LANG and/or LC_CTYPE are set to a reasonable value. -- Greetings Pete Upgraded, adj.: Didn't work the first time.
