i changed the registry field for the Xemacs fonts in my .Xdefaults,
from iso8859 to iso10646, then i ran xrdb and finally i started xemacs
xemacs came up with a tiny font, without bold/italic
the fonts in question are

when i, in the new xemacs running with the wrong font, changed the
font via the options menu to bitstream vera sans mono, i noted that the
selected font was already vera mono, and that if i reselect vera mono
the font was changed, but no bold/italic
later, i made a test with

in this case i got a largish face, that looked like courier, with
bold/italic in the appropriate place
when i used the options menu to change the font, i saw that the
currently used font was 'courier new' and when i changed the font to
vera mono the font was changed ok and everything worked as expected
i made a double-check, finding that, somehow, when running 21.5, a
face customization for default was saved: "(default ... :family
"courier new" ... )"
i removed the rogue customization and ran again both 21.4 and 21.5
21.5 starts with the ugly tiny font anyhow, no bold no italic,
21.4 starts with vera sans mono, everything seems ok...
ill' try to enable mule on 21.4 too, and report my findings asap
