The manual suggests to specify "iso8859-1". Is this correct? ,----[ (info "(emacs)Font X") ][...]| However, normally you should use `iso8859' for REGISTRY and `1'| for ENCODING. `----Not if multilingual menu strings is to be used. And "normally" more or less assumes the menu strings are in ISO8859-1, which is the case in Emacs now(they are even in ASCII as far as I know).(Sorry, maybe it wasn't clear...) My question was aiming at the Emacs.font X resource, not the menu bar fonts.
It depends. You should have a font that matches what characters you need to display. If you can get by with iso8859-1, then that is OK (western europe and american), but for asians, russians, arabics and others it is not appropriate at all.
