Make sure you have tried one based on the fonts coming from the intlfonts package (`M-x describe-fontset RET' should help) ? Use `C-uC-x=' to find the charset your font lacks in a dictionary buffer (it was mule-unicode-0100-24ff for me). You can use the font/fontsets menu (bind on shift-mouse-1) to try other fontsets (those defined after the intlfonts package installation should work; look in emacs X resources to find their names). Fix the Emacs.Font X resource when you have find the right fontset (another solution is to use the -fn startup option). If you don't like it, you can define your own fontset (see documentation) with the right font for IPA characters. Something like the following (Adobe's Courier with 14 dots for all charsets, except mule-unicode-0100-24ff that will use -Mixed-Fixed-bla-bla): Emacs.Font: -Adobe-Courier-Medium-R-Normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-,\ mule-unicode-0100-24ff:-Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--14-130-75\ -75-C-70-ISO10646-1 I hope it will help... -- Matthias
