Hello,
I use the font
-efont-fixed-medium-r-normal--24-240-75-75-c-120-iso10646-1
in emacs.
No problem with version 22.3, but after the update to 23.1, some characters
look very strange:

Do you know, how to get ü, ß, à, è and é displayed correctly?
TIA for any help!
Cheers, Peter

What does Emacs show if you go to one of these strangely displayed
characters and type "C-u C-x ="? And how does that differ from what
Emacs shows for the characters that are displayed correctly?

(require 'ucs-normalize) ?

Unfortunately, I don't understand much of that information...
Does anybody can reproduce this problem?
I'm using Xorg-7.4 on openSUSE-x86_64.

Hello Peter,
Unfortunately this does not help. But the start-up of emacs takes now
30 seconds!
Cheers, Peter

As you see, Emacs uses two different fonts to display these two
characters. Maybe the font
"-Efont-Efont Biwidth-normal-normal-normal-*-24-*-*-*-d-120-iso10646-1"
does not support é and the other characters that look strangely?

This font worked fine in GNU Emacs 22.3...

Anyway, it's worth to check the two fonts to see what they actually
offer (FontForge or GNU Charmap etc.). Another solution is to create
a fontset in which for each encoding a specific (the same) font (with
in the case of 7- or 8-bit encodings this font's specific font
encoding is given, i.e., -iso8859-X, -koi8-Y, -microsoft-cp1252, -ibm-
cpXYZ) is specified to stop GNU Emacs 23 from making its own faulty
choice.

Indeed.

>> does not support é and the other characters that look strangely?
I don't know, why emacs chooses this font for the letter ö and the
-efont-fixed-medium-r-normal--24-240-75-75-c-240-iso10646-1 font
for the letter é.
But now, I've found the solution (by trial and error without
understanding):
emacs -fn "-efont-efont biwidth-medium-r-normal--24-240-75-75-d-120-iso10646-1"
This font works quite well, only the splash screen is ugly: no logo and no
colors, but it doesn't matter for me.
And: this font is *not* listed by xlsfonts...
Cheers, Peter
