Euro Sign and Bitstream Vera

[M G Berberich]

Halle,

I have the problem, that my emacs (23.0.0.1) with
Bitstream-Vera-Sans-Mono-Font shows the Euro-sign ‘€’ as Currency-sign
‘¤’… sometimes. If I start the emacs with the UTF-8-demo-file from
Markus Kuhn the ‘€’ is displayed O.K.

I have set fontsets (shortend by ‘…’) as this:

(create-fontset-from-fontset-spec
 "-bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-…-*-fontset-vera11,
  latin:-bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-…-*-iso10646-1,
  mule-unicode-0100-24ff:-bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-…-iso10646-1,
  mule-unicode-2500-33ff:-bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-…-iso10646-1,
  mule-unicode-e000-ffff:-bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-…-iso10646-1,
  symbol:-bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-…-iso10646-1,
  symbol:-unknown-freemono-…-iso10646-1,
  greek:-unknown-freemono-…-iso10646-1,
  cyrillic:-monotype-andale mono-…-iso10646-1")

BTW: I have defined symbol: two times, does this make sense?

I added the output of ‘C-u C-x =’ below, the “working”-case differns
from the “non-working”-case in the glyph tht is used to display the
(same) char (#xBD / #x102) and in the property ‘fontified’.

Anybody?

C-u C-x = give this if the Euro-sign is not working
