Charset nebie questions

Not sure this is the proper place for the questions, but still ... I'm a total newbiew to programming for MULE though Lisping in XEmacs over 5 years. So, have several questions. I introduce the new charset with the following code: (make-charset 'experimental-charset "Experimental charset" '(dimension 1 registry "ISO8859-1" chars 96 columns 1 direction l2r final ?3 graphic 1 short-name "EXPERIMENTAL CHARSET" long-name "EXPERIMENTAL CHARSET: CHARSET NEWBIE" )) Investigating into how the chars from the charset appear in ccl programs I found that chars are essentially three octets For example, a character created as (make-char 'experimental-charset 32) appears as a sequence (in decimal) 158 172 160. I can understand 172 -- it is equal to (charset-id 'experimental-charset). 160 из 32 with highest bit set. BUT! where does the magic number 158 comes from? The second question relates to font selection. Under windows, when I try to display a char from the charset, i get a warning: (font/notice) Unable to instantiate font for charset experimental-charset, face default So, what is the method to associate a particular font (potentially with font family that differs from the default font family) with a charset?
