Some letters get cut off

Some letters get cut off

[Eric Lilja]

Hello, I'm using GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2005-07-07 
and I'm having a font problem. Some letters get their width cut off at the 
right-hand side. Just a few pixels, but still very annoying. The image found 
here exhibits the problem:

As you can see the D in HWND get cut off at a number of places, also the K 
in CALLBACK.

The problem occurs for both capital and non-capital letters, but may be a 
bit more frequent for capital letters.

The font setting in my .emacs file is as follows:
(set-default-font 
"-outline-Crisp-normal-r-normal-normal-16-120-96-96-c-70-iso8859-1")

I was hoping someone might have an idea what's wrong and an idea how to fix 
it. I'm still very much a novice, I'm afraid.

Thanks for any replies!

I tried upgrading to the very latest version of cvs emacs but that didn't 
solve the problem. But then I did solve the problem by reading up on the 
font itself...it didn't like the bold setting.
