Subject: 23.0.91; font-selection weirdness with `set-frame-attribute' of default face

Emacs seems to use different fonts to display ascii vs. non-ascii
characters when one uses `set-frame-attribute' to set the default font.


To reproduce (using X):

 (1) In a shell, evaluate the following commands:

       xrdb -remove
       echo '*Font: Dejavu Sans Mono-11' > /tmp/.Xdefaults
       echo '(set-face-attribute '\''default nil :family "Liberation Mono")' > /tmp/.emacs
       HOME=/tmp emacs -no-splash -eval '(insert "café")'&

 (2) Position the cursor over the "c" in "café", and use C-u C-x =

     Notice it says that the font used is "Liberation Mono", which is
     the correct default font.

 (3) Position the cursor over the "é" in "café", and use C-u C-x =

     Notice that it says the font used is "Dejavu Sans Mono", which is
     _not_ the correct default font, but rather was the startup font.


This problem only seems to occur if one uses `set-face-attribute' to set
the default font.  If one uses `set-frame-font' (etc), it seems to work
correctly; e.g., try using the shell command:

   echo '(set-frame-font "Liberation Mono")' > /tmp/.emacs

and then start emacs as in the original recipe; the "é" should
correctly be displayed using the current default font.


Thanks,

-Miles

I can't reproduce the problem with the latest code.  It may
be because of the fix I installed last night.  Does your
Emacs have this change?

2009-03-30  Kenichi Handa  <handa <at> m17n.org>

	* fontset.c (fontset_from_font): Specify only registry in a
	font-spec for all characters supported by that registry.

If not yet, could you please try again with the latest code?

I tried with the latest emacs, and you're right, it's fixed now!

I should have waited another day.... :-)

Thanks,
