fontsets on w32 emacs (ver 22.3)

fontsets on w32 emacs (ver 22.3)

[B. T. Raven]

Is it possible to construct fontsets out of ttf fonts or do they have to
be bdf on w32 emacs also? For instance, could I make a fontset that
includes all the characters from Arial Unicode and supplements them with
some from Code2000 or Code2001?

I found this code on the emacs wiki:

 ;; "Greek extended"  U+1F00 - U+1FEF
    (set-fontset-font "fontset-standard"
                      (cons (decode-char 'ucs #x1f00)
                            (decode-char 'ucs #x1fef))
                      "-*-palatino
linotype-*-*-r-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1")

;; is the above referring to a bdf Palatino font?

Will something like this also work on w32 emacs? I already have:

(custom-set-faces
  ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
  ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
  ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 '(default ((t (:stipple nil :background "ghostwhite" :foreground
"black" :inverse-video nil :box nil :strike-through nil :overline nil
:underline nil :slant normal :weight normal :height 108 :width normal
:family "outline-arial unicode ms")))))



(make-frame '((name . "courier")
           (top . 1) (left . 1) (width . 123) (height . 18)
           (visibility . icon) ; nil or icon
     ))

(select-frame-by-name "courier")
(set-frame-font "-outline-Courier
New-normal-r-normal-normal-*-*-96-96-c-*-iso10646-1")

Could I add a unicode range to these without disturbing the method that
choses glyphs from those two fonts for the two named frames? Are there
examples on web somewhere?

Thanks,

Ed

There is no restriction on the type of font that can be a member of a
fontset.

Thanks, Jason. I'll give it a try.
