Re: Problems with UTF-8 Emacs patch

[Edmund GRIMLEY EVANS <edmundo@rano.demon.co.uk>]

I've made some progress with UTF-8 Emacs ...

I found that the following in my .emacs causes a working fontset to be
created:

(if (eq window-system 'x)
   (create-fontset-from-fontset-spec
    "-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-standard"))

By a working fontset, I mean one that will display the unicode-mono
characters used by Otfried's package. Once Emacs has started I can
select this fontset with Shift-Left-Mouse; it's called "Standard:
13-dot medium".

What I have not succeeded in doing is getting this to be the initial
font. Since I was planning to start up Emacs for editing each e-mail
reply, it would be a great advantage if I could.

I also have another problem: using Otfried's recipe (
http://www.cs.ust.hk/faculty/otfried/Mule/index_1.html ) I tried to
convert some input methods, but Emacs won't parse the resulting file.
Here's an example of a rule that works and lets you type ";u" to get a
Latin-3 u with breve accent:

(quail-define-rules
 (";u" ?,C}(B)
)

If I convert that to UTF-8 with Otfried's recipe I get:

(quail-define-rules
 (";u" ?$,<!-(B)
)

Emacs gives a parse error when loading my .emacs containing that.

Can anyone help me with either of my problems?
