Hi Handaさん、

The font

"xft:-unknown-Symbola-normal-normal-semi-condensed-*-20-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1"

Is a copy & paste of what emacs 24.3 report after doing a C-u C-x =

It has 15 fields on that version.

On trunk emacs I have tried:

"xft:-Symbola-normal-normal-semi-condensed-*-20-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1"

and

"xft:-unknown-Symbola-normal-normal-semi-condensed-*-20-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1"

which contains 14 fields and still get an error.

I don't know anything about this xft stuff. I just had a look at the
emacs info. It talks about using a program called fclist. The output of
that program doesn't tell me what I need to tell emacs to use these fonts.

Take care,

Ivan
