In any case, I do recommend Liberation but I guess I should also recomment DejaVu Sans? ;-)DejaVu Sans is a bit better, but it must be in 9pt to be right... while Ireally like smaller fonts.I still will give it a try for a couple of days. But, as of now, nothingbeats Consolas yet...
I /think/ that in X, emacs will select the closest font it can find to in order to get the characters it needs. However, in Windows, it will only use the default font (or whatever is explicitly specified for the face), even if that font is missing characters. The only workaround I've found for buffers that need a lot of Unicode characters is to use DejaVu Sans Mono. Consolas is very nice, but its Unicode coverage is not good. -- +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Jason F.
