Emacs may choose one of +these to display characters from the mule-unicode charsets and then +typically won't be able to find the glyphs to display many characters. +(Check with C-u C-x =.) To avoid this, you may need to use a fontset +which sets the font for the mule-unicode sets explicitly, e.g. to use +GNU unifont include in the fontset spec: + +mule-unicode-2500-33ff:-gnu-unifont-*-iso10646-1,\ +mule-unicode-e000-ffff:-gnu-unifont-*-iso10646-1,\ +mule-unicode-0100-24ff:-gnu-unifont-*-iso10646-1 + * Mule-UCS loads very slowly.
