Thanks. well, let me clarify. Emacs *did* find an appropriately-encoded font, the problem was that it took the iso8859-5 font from the "standard" fontset and not from my fontset, even though there surely *it* a matching font in my fontset (and it works great once I map "cyrillic-iso8859-5" to it explicitly). perhaps it's a kind of feature? it would be nice to simply be able to tell Emacs to forget the standard fontset altogether, or at least to completely ignore it. > Btw, cyrillic-iso8859-5 is not an encoding, it's a character set. > But that's nitpicking. it's kind of subtle, so it's certainly worth pointing out. thank you. -- Incrementally extended heuristic algorithms tend inexorably toward the incomprehensible.
