No. As I said, I used some long-forgotten font editor to open a font I liked, I pasted the euro sign from a similar font at the right codepoint, and I've been using it happily ever after. (I think all this is not strictly illegal, as it is a personal use of the font and I've never distributed it, but who knows...) > Perhaps there's some > interaction with what antialiasing and/or ClearText (on laptops?) ClearText was inactive. Hmm. Very interesting. The font I'm using already has Bold, Oblique and Bold Oblique variants. So I think what's happening is that, when I set the font to bold, Emacs uses the bold variant... and then somehow thinks it doesn't support bold and tries to synthesize it. If I remove the variants from \Windows\fonts and leave just the normal font, your code works right. -- /L/e/k/t/u
