I don't know anything about them though. I assume they work in w32 build also with ttf fonts. M-x list-fontsets shows only these here (really not composite sets): Fontset: -outline-Arial Unicode MS-normal-normal-normal-sans-13-*-*-*-p-*-fontset-auto1 Fontset: -outline-Arial Unicode MS-normal-normal-normal-sans-14-*-*-*-p-*-fontset-auto2 Fontset: -outline-Courier New-normal-normal-normal-mono-16-*-*-*-c-*-fontset-auto3 Fontset: -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-default Fontset: -*-courier new-normal-r-*-*-13-*-*-*-c-*-fontset-standard Fontset: -outline-Courier New-normal-normal-normal-mono-13-*-*-*-c-*-fontset-startup > > does emacs rely on OS's font substitution tech or does it has its own? I think it relies on the OS. I don't see any functions for that on my install. Ed > > ( link to Symbola font http://xahlee.org/comp/unicode_6_emoticons.html > ) > > Xah >
