23.0.60; fontset problems

[Peter Dyballa]

Hello!

A two months old version of GNU Emacs 23.0.60 follows this in ~/.emacs:

        (setq initial-frame-alist
          (append (list
            '(border-color      . "#4e3832")
            '(foreground-color  . "grey10")
            '(background-color  . "AliceBlue")
        ;    '(background-color . "honeydew")
            '(active-alpha      . 0.875)
            '(inactive-alpha    . 0.75)
            '(font . "fontset-10pt_lucidatypewriter")
            '(top . 136) '(left . 666) '(width . 100) '(height . 57)
          ) initial-frame-alist))
        (setq default-frame-alist
          (append (list
            '(cursor-type       . box)
            '(active-alpha      . 0.875)
            '(inactive-alpha    . 0.75)
            '(vertical-scroll-bars . left)
            ) default-frame-alist))
        (if (= 22 ETyp)
            (setq default-frame-alist
              (append (list
                '(foreground-color      . "grey10")
                '(background-color      . "alice blue")
                '(cursor-color          . "DarkGreen")
                '(top . 40) '(left . 518) '(width . 85) '(height . 45)
            ) default-frame-alist)))
        (if (= 23 ETyp)
            (setq default-frame-alist
              (append (list
                '(foreground-color      . "NavyBlue")
                '(background-color      . "LightCyan")
                '(cursor-color          . "firebrick")
                '(top . 66) '(left . 636) '(width . 100) '(height . 57)
                '(font . "fontset-10pt_lucida_sans_typewriter")
            ) default-frame-alist)))
	(set-fontset-font "fontset-default" 'gb18030 '("dejavu sans mono".  
"unicode-bmp"))
	(set-fontset-font "fontset-startup" 'gb18030 '("dejavu sans mono".  
"unicode-bmp"))

When I type M-x describe-fontset RET RET in the initial frame, the  
*Help* buffer starts with ("ETyp's value is 23"):

	Fontset: -b&h-lucida sans typewriter-medium-r-normal--10-*-*-*-*-*- 
fontset-startup
        CHAR RANGE (CODE RANGE)
        FONT NAME (REQUESTED and [OPENED])
        C-@ .. DEL

iso10646-1]
          .. ͯ (#xA0 .. #x36F)
            -*-lucida sans typewriter-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1

The elder Emacs shows:

	Fontset: -b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*- 
fontset-10pt_lucidatypewriter
        CHAR RANGE (CODE RANGE)
            FONT NAME (REQUESTED and [OPENED])
          .. £ (#xA0 .. #xA3)
            -*-lucidatypewriter-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15
        ¤ (#xA4)
            -*-lucidatypewriter-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-9
        ¥ (#xA5)
            -*-lucidatypewriter-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15

Although recent Emacs knows fontset-startup it does not like the last  
line from ~/.emacs. *Messages* contains:

        error: Fontset `fontset-startup' does not exist


Then I create a new, a more default-like frame. The glyphs look  
different, the look like non-bitmap, and not anti-aliased. Now M-x  
describe-fontset RET RET reports in *Help* buffer still almost the same:

	Fontset: -b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-10-*-*-*-*-*- 
fontset-startup
        CHAR RANGE (CODE RANGE)
            FONT NAME (REQUESTED and [OPENED])
        C-@ .. DEL
            -*-lucidatypewriter-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
            -*-lucidatypewriter-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1

        Ͱ .. ೿ (#x370 .. #xCFF)
            -*-lucidatypewriter-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1
		[-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-11-79-100-100-m-70- 
iso10646-1]
        ഀ .. ൿ (#xD00 .. #xD7F)

iso10646-1]

So the font used was switched accordingly, but the names of the  
fontsets used in the recent version are not correct.

The box said "Use Windows 95 or better," so I got a Macintosh.
