I'll assume that's it unless you say otherwise.)
No that was a fix for typo in my earlier patch. The font menu change
were integrated in early sept. I am not sure exactly which beta that was.
Yes, the ugly font gets selected. Yes, once the ugly kanji gets
installed changing fonts or size through the options menu or through
custom does not affect that ugly kanji font; it is wedged in the same
font, same size.
OK, so the customize font handling is messed up with respect to MULE.
It would be interesting to see whether it works with FSF EMacs.

No, I don't have one.
If you have some users running 20.4 it would be very nice to have one.
Wel, as Martin pointed out, the XEmacs view of fonts is also
lacking.
I am afraid in this case customize is the culprit. Its way of
modifying the default face needs to be improved (may be do it more
like the old font-menu used to. The code is still there.
FYI AFAIK customize constructs a totally new font whereas the old
font-menu basically took the old one and applied changes. The latter
method probably keeps some of the MULE settings.
