This is not really a bug report but a wish list: The display of the file: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/examples/UTF-8-demo.txt isn't as good as it should be. (I use the monospace-9 font in emacs under Gnome.) 1. it seems to me, that the linespacing isn't correct (one pixel to much?) 2. the matrix-braces aren't well aligned 3. the box around "typography in plain text files" isn't well aligned 4. the combined characters don't look nice 5. the box drawing alignment tests (at the end) aren't okay If you need a screenshot of this as an example, I can send it. But maybe a "self test" should be enough to see what I mean. But many thanks to bring the development of the emacs so fast forward.

You need to set your default font to something that at least covers all the box drawing characters if you want those tests to align properly. In my case, Emacs chooses a Japanese font for the box characters, which contains double-width glyphs for the single line box drawing characters, and single-width characters for the double line box drawing characters, so the alignment is really messed up. > If you need a screenshot of this as an example, I can send it. But maybe > a "self test" should be enough to see what I mean. > It really depends on which fonts are installed on the tester's machine, and which font they use as the default font. I see some of what you are complaining about, but not others.

It renders pretty nicely for me in Emacs 24.0.90. Looks basically identical to how it is in firefox.
