For 99.99% of my email/news I get ASCII (or maybe latin-1) text, and I use the default Courier New font. However, just occasionally, I get messages with odd characters - often encoded in UTF-8, not always using characters available in Courier New. For example, I recently saw a message with a short piece of Japanese text - the rest was basically ASCII. Is there a way to set a different font which can be used for such "out of range" characters? I'd have though not, and yet my email at work (Outlook - ack, spit) managed to switch fonts just for the Japanese message (it switched for the whole message, not just for the Japanese characters, but that's OK). This is a very minor issue (after all, it's extremely rare that I get mail like this, other than spam) but it's a matter of pride - I don't like to think that Outlook can do something that Gnus can't! I suspect this is more of an Emacs question than a Gnus one, hence the crosspost. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Paul. -- A little inaccuracy sometimes saves tons of explanation -- Saki
