The first is that the wildcard matching was improved, so Emacs can generally find fonts for itself now. In 20.3.3.1 the fonts needed to be listed seperately to be included in the fontset. The other change is that Emacs now uses a newer API call where possible to list fonts. This results in a more complete list under NT 4.0 and Windows 9x, but has the side-effect that the " CE", " Tur" etc get dropped from the fonts that have them. Since the international font names now vary with versions of the operating system, it is better to let Emacs find them. I know that Emacs picks fonts other than "Courier New" under certain conditions, but after checking with Kenichi Handa (who wrote much of the general MULE support), this is by design rather than bug. I think the general idea of fontset-standard is to provide a fontset that covers as many charsets as possible for occasional use. For a consistant looking fontset, you may have to define it yourself. (`create-fontset-from-ascii-font' is easiest to use for a single alternative charset, for more charsets it is necessary to use `create-fontset-from-fontset-spec'.) -- Jason Rumney
