Of course, its screenshot was from Emacs 23 on FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE. See
bottom of the screenshot with care. And i put some values into ~/.emacs
for that, as flollow:

;; Font, Charset
(set-default-font "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-12")
(set-fontset-font "fontset-default" '(#x1100 . #xffdc)  '("UnTaza" . 
"unicode-bmp"))
(setq default-frame-alist '((font . "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-12")))
(set-language-environment "UTF-8")
(set-coding-priority '(coding-category-utf-8))
(setq locale-coding-system 'utf-8)
(set-selection-coding-system 'utf-8)
(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)
(setq-default mime-transfer-level 8)

That was all to make the screenshot.

Though, you should go toward free software world.

"I'll give you some more straight talk. After the Don died, Mike was set up
to be killed. Do you know who set him up? Tessio. So Tessio had to be killed.
Carlo had to be killed. Because treachery can't be forgiven. Michael could
have forgiven it, but people never forgive themselves and so they would always
be dangerous. Michael really liked Tessio. He loves his sister. But he would
be shrinking his duty to you and his children, to his whole family, to me and
my family, if he let Tessio and Carlo go free. They would have been a danger
to us all, all our lives."
