Using XEmacs.font is usually not a good idea; it is too likely to be
shadowed by face settings. Better to use XEmacs.default.attributeFont
in most cases.
Start by nuking the "18" (which says "use this many
pixels", and due
to the implementation will vary in screen size for bitmap fonts):
XEmacs.default.attributeFont: -*-courier-bold-r-*-*-*-180-*-*-*-*-*-*
I now tried
M-: (set-face-font 'default
"-*-courier-bold-r-*-*-*-180-*-*-*-*-*-*")
deleting the 18 has a terrible effect on the font, chars to
large and to thin, but the UTF8 symbols in question *do not*
change, in fact they were better represented in 21.4.21... :'(.
which says "use a font that appears to be 18.0 points for this
screen"
which also is likely to be absolutely incorrect, but gives you a much
better chance of having the same size for all characters. (You can
also try with XEmacs.font. If it works for you now in most ways, it
probably will keep working.)
You also need to be sure that there is a font containing that glyph
of
appropriate size on your system. On most modern systems, all fonts
are scalable, so you should be OK. But it's possible that something
silly like the GNU international font is being used.
I did not compile with xft support, could that be the reason?
