Something seems screwy in the instantiation of the face fonts here. I'm really not sure what. It seems that you need to (reset-face 'italic) before setting the italic font. If you put ;; let's not keep this forever :-( (if (emacs-version>= 21 4 6) (message "After upgrading, try removing the face hack from init.el!")) (reset-face 'italic) (set-face-font 'italic your-preferred-font-spec-goes-here 'global) in your init file, you'll probably get the result you want. Whether you will be able to use Custom on that face afterward I'm not sure. You should be able to use -*-iso8859-15 fonts by doing this. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Don't ask how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
