On my system the intlfonts package is installed, Emacs display IPA
characters with the startup fontset (for example, when I ask for a
description of the IPA input method) BUT when I use the French-English
dictionary with this fontset there are box in place of IPA
characters !

The problem disappear when I use the following fontset (from intlfonts):

Emacs.Fontset-0: -etl-*-medium-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-etl(small)

Do you have any explanation ?

For debugging purpose `fontset-startup' is defined by the following X
resources :

Emacs.Fontset-3: -Adobe-Courier-Medium-R-Normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-\
fontset-courier(small)

Emacs.Font: fontset-courier(small)

Thanks for your attention
